i attempted to clean this this weekend, it took me 3 washes and as many hours to get it to the stage im at now. claybar hasnt gone anywhere near it yet, although i did have to give it a quick bash with sonus paint cleanser to remove the nasty little vandals scrawling across the drivers door :oops: any advise on how best to attack this next? current state is basically, 3 washes later, no clay, polish or wax applied, i sealed the wheels as they're clean.....
BEFORE (apologies for rubbish phone camera)

Recalled your quandry thread. I thought it was a Vauxhall and wondered why you cleaned it.

i've since searched terrano on yahoo and found it a nissan.

Best way to deal with that is a gallon of petrol and a match!!!!!!!!!!

I originally put something along the lines of Your wasting your time cleaning it, but removed it not wanting to get another yellow card.
Yours made me laugh.

Well the boring way to get rid of it would be T-cut (not sure if that's more of a swear word than the petrol)

t-cut :aargh4: go and wash your mouth out..... say that on DW and you'll get burnt at the stake.

the current method ill be using is :


quick wash and dry using 2 bucket method and mitt
claybar
treat with AG SRP (may replace this with Jetseal)
treat with AG EGP (may replace with a glaze on top of jetseal)
top with CG XXX wax (may replace with CG 50/50the 2 things im unsure about is at what point i will be happy enough to seal it and whether or not XXX is the right wax for a white car:Blush:

Hello Hello Hello matey just a quick one you can leave srp as it is then put jetseal on top no need for the glaze wont do much, jetseal is a last step product only wax would go on top if you wanted but it is not vital.CG 50/50 is a all colour car wax so you cant go far wrong with it mate. :D

im hoping to give it a go over with SRP tonight, then get some jetseal... 50/50 is being ordered next week :) its getting rather expensive this cleaning lark lol

would you reccomend any other wax above 50/50 for white? im guessing i should clay it as well before doing the SRP?
