VR6Nat 9 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Lol, ok seeing as there is interest ill put my cleaning process on here, i am in no way saying this is the best way to do it or these are the best products, just to cover my ass... but i like them and they work well for me, as you can clearly see.... once a month or two i do a full clean which consists of:Wash (2 bucket method)Clay Bar - BH AutoclayWash - still trying to find a shampoo im 100% happy with Dry - Chemical guys Mirical dry clothPolish with Light cut polish Lime Prime Pre wax cleanserRubbish Boys Juiced Edition Caranuba Wax (applied by hand, not applicator)Then every week or two i do a standard clean which consists of:Clean (2 bucket method)DryPolish with either Auto Glym Super Resin polish or a light cut detailling polishChemical Guys mirror shine Sealant/GlazeThen i use the glaze on the windowsAuto Glym vinyl & rubber care on the dash, trim and tyres And the wheels get the same treatment as the paint....

VR6Nat 9 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 i dont use the cutting polish on my wheels though, and i have only been using it on my paint due to swirl marks (that are still there... grrrr)But if you havent got swirls then just use a normal polish.... Ive gotta get my machine polisher out next to get rid of mine so hopefully he will look even better... : ) Link to post Share on other sites
