Hey peeps,
Looking to get my car looking spanking for winter, Been doing the normal wash routine lately then finishing off simply using Greased Monkeys' Showroom Shine, but now think its time to tuck into a bit of detailing as the car has a bit of road rash and want to ensure its nicely protected for winter. This is what I have planned so far..... please make any suggestions
Wash - Soak with open hose, and pressure wash any stubbon skank off, then (Halfords) pressure washer bottle the car (already in the cupboard so may as well use). Lambswool mitt the car with 2 buckets. CarPlans' Wonder wheels (in cupboard) the [stock] alloys with a brush. Rinse the car with an open hose. Drip then dry with a microfibre or a shammy - yet to be decided.
ClayBar - Dodo Juices' Born Slippy (Ordered) and 2x55g claybar (ordered) split into 4 bits soaking in hot water, spray BS onto 2x3ft area and claybar area lightly. Fold repeatedly and repeat on next area. Do I need to rinse car or towel down??
Polish - Completely undecided on what product to use and how to apply effectively
Wax - Nothing bought yet, however have heard great thinks about Finish Kares' FK100P - Although not sure on application...
Wheel dressing - Is it worth it? If so, what products?
Note: All this work will be carried out on a gravel driveway so hardly ideal conditions, but the best I have. Picture below of todays 'basic' clean, you can see the surface I'm on.
Any advice is extremely welcome. Thank in advance!
