Default Polishing my Car. Advice.



I have some poorboys blue was and have just bought a blue Dodo juice.

However I am after a proper stages detail so I can get a shopping list of bits.
I have some clay but would like a good multi staged shopping list to get this baby looking wetter than wet wet wet.

Regards
Lee

Good choice with the Dodo Juice

Ideally, you want to get yourself a Karcher Pressure Washer if you don't already have one, a 399 will do and can be picked up for only around £90 and an Autobrite foam lance. Soak your car in foam from the wash of your choice, leave it to settle, hose it off, and go over it with a little more wash and a Sonus Sheepskin wash mitt

Dry it all off with a Sonus Der Wunder drying towel

Clay the paintwork all over using a Sonus Green clay bar and your car wash as lube (if you mix it with water, make sure it's 0PPM purified water- IMPORTANT!)

Get yourself a Makita Rotary Polisher and all the necessary pads, go over the paintowrk with 3-stage Menzerna

Then apply a pre-wax cleanser, use Dodo Juice Lime Prime

Then stick your wax on, I'd apply it either by hand or with a Sonus Der Wunder polishing towel

Buff off with a Sonus Der Wunder buffing towel

Then add a final finsh glaze

In terms of bodywork, that'll do you. Get some Chemical Guys Maxi Suds II to wash in between waxes so as it doesn't fetch the wax off, but cleans it well
