Default Looking After White

Hi Guys,

I have had many white cars but not really looked after any properly so would like some advice on what to get.

I have bought a MK2 FRS in FW and have decided i need to invest in some decent kit to polish and protect it,

I have its like bilberry wheel cleaner and good leather stuff etc, I also have meguiars clay bar and plenty of super resin polish but i don't know what I'm doing regarding wax or what i should use on white really.

Any advice would be great

Yeas i have been considering that, then just keep it topped up with whatever i need.

I know a guy that does it quite local too so might just leave it to him, a lot less elbow grease

Have a look on detailing world, lots of good information on there. Depending on how much you want to get into it theres soo much you can do. If its just wash and wax your thinking then thats fairly simple. for basics i love Meguiars products and them for more detailing the likes of Chemical guys, poor boys etc. i tend to favour. However, i will make a note, once you start and get into it it becomes a slippery slope of perfection! You'll not be able to wash a car in the space of a lunch break and will be worrying about if the 2 bucket method is really enough!!!
