Title: What products do people reccomend
Post by: George10 on June 05, 2013, 09:59:48 pm

Hi guys, I'm planning on detailing my car ( or what some of you would call a good clean)
What products would you reccomend getting and what method to use them in?
I get confused where to apply the glaze and the sealent

Thanks in advance
George

What colour is your car?

Read up on peoples' write ups of DW like Detailmyride, miglior, midlands carcare etf on here. Read the write ups in the studio section of DW. Look at youtube videos for techniques.

This is a great item: http://www.zymol.co.uk/zymolroyaleglaze44oz.aspx

Not a bad deal, with the free refills. :grin:

At that price I'd expect it to include having my car waxed weekly by a bevvy of Brazilian beauties. I'd also be expecting a 'happy ending' when they've finished with the VW.

Colour is irrelevant when it comes to products!!!
Plenty of info on Detailing World.... you apply a glaze and then use a wax or sealant, well, as a sealant. They are called Last Step Products or LSP which should help explain where you put them in the process :)

I wrote a guide here that sort of outlines the basic process and some products.

There could be a long old list as to what products are needed,

You could take a look on detailingworld like some others have mentioned, (Could get confusing)

I mainly buy through Autobrite Direct now as they do all there own products which I haven't found one yet that I don't like,
Also they are very knowledgeable and also sell kits so to start you off.
