Just got my new car, so have ordered a few products to clean it.
I have ordered:
Quik Clay Detailing System
Hyper Wash
Supreme Shine Microfibre (single)
Endurance High Gloss Tyre Protection Gel
Luxurious Lambs Wool Wash Mitt
Scratch X (for scratches and swirl marks).
Would this be the correct order to clean the car in?
1. Wet the car down with water
2. Use the lambs wool mit + the hyper wash to wash the car.
3. Dry car down with Microfibre cloth
4. Use the quick clay detailing system
5. Scratch X to remove swirl marks ect.
6. Auto glym Super Resin Polish
7. Should i get something like a wax or sealant to protect my hard work?
Also with the clay system, I know its sounds stupid but how do you actually use it, do you just use the whole block and go all around the car with it, or can you break it off and use different bits for different sections (I have never used it before)
I took the bar out, cut it into small pieces, then put them in a cheap sealed container that you use for food, 25p or so from Asda/Tesco.
Then using one bar, sit it in some warm water and then kneed it slightly in your fingers.
Lightly spray the area you want to clay with the quick detailer and then just rub the bar over this area, you should feel it "stick" as it pulls away bonded contaminants from the paint. When the bar goes hard/cold, put it back in the water and then kneed it to a clean piece when warm.
There are instructions included with it and a good video available from Meguiars too.
