*** The Car Cleaning Thread ***

[Akagi]

Put some Megs Tyre Gel on everything black, bumper trims, plate surround, etc. Worked great...

hey all

Can anyone recommend me some wipes to leave in the glove box for exterior (bird poo, bugs etc) and another one for Glass (inside & out) Thanks

 

[redrevis]

Autoglym Bird Dropping Wipes x10 sachets are about £5, so not cheap, but very handy to keep in the car. Never used glass wipes, but there seems to be a lot of different brands that do them.

Quickshifter wipes are good, send me a trust message and I’ll post you a pack, see what you think.

I just use generic anti bacterial wipes, as long as you wipe away the excess

GTechniq C5 or CarPro DLUX

Or you could go for something like fk1000p

 

[Akagi]

I use Autosol on wire wool followed by Autosol on a cloth.

I've done my wheels, didn't think of the exhaust tips so thanks!

Done a quick wash today

 

[Hyburnate]

Gave mine a quick wash, clay and wax tonight.

Photo after the quick wash as it was dark before I finished




Can't get the plastic front bumper to shine as much as the metal panels and the wheels are really driving me insane. Many things on the list to getting this car into the shape I want it to be

Nice Hyburnate.. wasn't exactly sunny in my picture either and I didn't apply BSD like I usually do.

I haven't taken any close-ups for a reason.. which is why I'm about to buy this lot, note the deal on DAS6 pro..

Anything else I need?

Not used those pads before... Not used the compound either but heard a lot of good stuff about it.

Some plush microfibres and maybe some panel wipe?

Yeah I'll definitely report back.. the pads will be tried and tested so why not.

Already have some microfibers and gtechniq panel wipe

Unfortunately in2detailing don't stock any blue masking tape so will have to buy that elsewhere.
