Super resin polish and any old wax until you have more time!

If you're that short, it might be worth getting it done professionally. Then all you have to do is a weekly wash and top up with quick detailer or wax as required.

i dont have to money to have it done professionally  :sad1: and i enjoy cleaning the car by self making sure i get every lil bit lol but i want to get into detailing because i have to clean my car before i go anywhere :stupid: I just see people talking about claying and using all these different products and learning little bits here and there about whats the best to use and in what order.

My routine is:

Jet the car off
Snow foam the car x 2
Rinse off
Wash with 2 buckets method (1 mitt for roof, glass, top halfs of door, bonnet and boot. 2nd mitt for bumpers and lower half of door)
Rinse off
Dry off with towel
Polish with super resin
Wax with Dodo Juice
Glass polish
Back to black for plastics if required

Im still leaning and getting bits e.g. different wax, brushes, glaze etc

Products - ask and you'll get a hundred different questions. Have a look at what people have used in some of the threads in this section.

The sticky guides will tell you the order.
