[06_ion2]

[Cobizzle]

nah, my car barely has clear coat on it so it looks like crap anyhow

 

[jmarie]

ooo i'll have to use these today when i think i was my car... as long as it doesnt rain.. my baby is really dirty haven't washed her since...APRIL and it wasnt even a real good wash =\

 

[Wolf117]

i just use meguires stuff, if i had extra money i would try turbo wax for sure

 

[Tyrone Biggins]

I use all meguires

Meguires deep crystal soap
Meguires sponge
Shammy not the shamwow
If the paint is bad I use Ultimate compound
Nxt Gen wax
Nxt gen tech protectant for car shows its super super glossy
Supreme shine for just rolling around town. It leaves it shiny but not greasy
Hot shine for the tires
Nxt gen glass cleaner
Ill be updating more soon, I am going to buy a pro buffer and start detailing cars, full time on the weekends. And yes I have been using a a speed buffer for about 6 years now. Mines just getting old and hard to find poilish pads for.

 

[cobalt123]

we need a how to on buffering, any thoughts on posting one up?

Its really not to hard you just have to keep the buffer moving. I dont sit in one place for very long because it will burn through the paint especially along body lines and on spoilers where the paint is thin.

what model do you use

 

[Tyrone Biggins]

You refering to a random orbital or rotary? I have both the random works but not as quickly as the rotary. IF you want a random orbital go to Griotsgarage.com its a really nice unit and has bigger motor than Portercable. If you looking for a rotary then I would go with Milwaukee or Makita. I had my Milwaukee for 15 years of auto detailing and it still works like new. Then get the Meguiars Professional line of products you wont be dissapointed!

thanks ill check those out

i like simple green products i use

outside
simple green carwash soap

use cotton mitt

bug sponge for tough stuff
simple green automotive degreaser-on rims tires inside the fender wells- stuff does everything tar,grease,brake dust, if you spray it on your wheels you can see it lifting the dirt out of the tires as it runs off.

5sqft premium leather chamois

Turtle wax F21 nano tech formula

havent clay barred yet


Inside

Armor ALL all purpose cleaner- NO SHINE- NO GREASY RESIDUE

Windex or whatever on the windows

i used to be a meguiars fan...recently tried the new turtle wax ice, in combo with the new turtle wax ice was soap....works awesome...the wax leaves no residue on plastics, doesnt get stuck in small crevices, it isnt messy, all around great shine. price isnt horrible. i usually go to the carwash when its not busy and just use my own bucket and microfiber mit so i can take my time. drying, i use california water blade to get the most off the quickest to avoid spotting, then touch it up with dry microfiber towels...hasnt failed me yet!


BTW do NOT waste money on those expensive cans of armor all tire foam...just buy the plain ol' armor all spray, and get a rag that can get dirty. your tires still get dark, stay clean, and you dont spend a fortune on those cans that dont last very long!

im not even going to get into it with products but i wash mine right before sunset and then use a californa jelly blade to get most of the water off then pull it in the garage to do the rest

 

[dman090]

wow am i the only turbo wax user?

 

[06_ion2]

i use basic car wash soap.

 

[outtamymind]

i'm not sure what soap i use, its the stuff that my shop gets for all the detailing. but thats all i use really. i wash it, i dry it with a shammy and thats it. interior its simply a vacuum and baby wipes believe or not. as for wax i've tried the eagle one nano one and it worked amazing i must say. but now i'm using a meguirs wax, i forget which one it is
