I've used Maguires and Autoglym stuff for years, but I am guessing there is better stuff out there? So what would people suggest for:
1: Foam for my foam pot lance thingy on Karcher
2: Suds for me bucket
3: Detailer thingy for quick polishy
4: Scratch remover
5: Good wax
1. Bilt Hamber Auto Foam. You can't really do better than that for the price. Or Krystal Kleen Detail Blizzard (normal or extreme)
2. I currently use Car Chem 1900:1. Suds up brilliantly and cleans well. Or Bilt Hamber Autowash. Very very economical and suds up a lot.
3. If you just want a couple of weeks/months of beading and protection, either Sonax BSD, or Bouncers Bead Juice. BSD is spray and wipe, while bead juice is spray on and pressure wash off. Bead Juice will last longer. If you want almost a waterless wash, I'd highly recommend ONR. That stuff does almost anything you could ask it to do.
4. Can't really get better at removing scratches by hand by using Meguiars Ultimate Compound. By machine its a different story with multiple pads and compounds and polishes.
5. Depends what you are after. For long term protection for a decent price, it'd be hard to beat Collinite 476s, 815 or Soft99 Fusso. For a show wax, I'd pick Obsession Was Phaenna.
Just picked up a VW Move UP in Pure white. I was told they treated it for fallout and washed it but didn't polish it, as the salesperson new I was concerned they would inflict swirls.
Would like to get some protection on it tomorrow what would you recommend ?
was thinking start with the following as I can get these locally
Autobright Magifiaom
Maguiars gold class car wash and conditioner (Using two bucket method)
(check for contaminants hoping won't have any)
Maguiars gold class liquid wax
would this be sufficient Immediate protection ?
thanks
That will work to start you off. I haven't actually used Good Class Liquid Wax but have heard good things about it. Are you just using it to wait on a decent long term wax? If so, you could get a spray sealant/detailer like BSD. EuroCarParts sells it quite cheap, especially with the weekend30 code.
Did I mention I am a massive fan of BSD?
