Advice on products

[x2dazee]

Ive been reading some of the posts regarding some detailing products and at the moment (considering I don't want to spend a fortune) I've narrowed it down to the following:

Megs Quik Clay Kit
AutoGlym Super Resin Polish
Collinite 476 Double Wax
Plus necessary cloths etc

My question is i've got loads of swirl marks (I think the previous owner must have used those drive in car washes) doesn't help my car is black either, plus a few subtle to somewhat deep scratches.

Following a previous reply by elitedetailer here https://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/s...ad.php?t=94241

Shall I purchase a bottle of Megs Swirl X or Scratch 2.0 to fill in the scratches etc or will the AutoGlym SRP fill these in somewhat

If not and i need a bottle of Megs Swirl X or Scratch 2.0 do i apply these prior to claying or after claying, and again lol if after claying will it interfere with the AG polish if that's the correct term

Thanks in advance

Hi

You need to clay your car before you start polishing with Autoglym,Meguiars etc etc.

As a wax, this is a very good wax for low money: Meguiars 16 Paste Wax and will match the Collinite.

For the swirls, the Scratch X 2.0 is quite strong, so I would start with swirl X first. You will need to work it in and it may take a couple of attempts per panel.

Thanks for the advice ED, so basically clay the car then use swirl x to fill in the swirls then polish with SRP and then wax it ? and the Meguiars 16 Paste Wax how easy it to work it into the car because collinite makes out its super easy

Budget isn't too much of an issue but I don't want to spend silly amounts as this would be the first time attempting a "detail" so with the above products could i expect (if used correctly lol) some noticeable results..

Last thing the swirl x is it ok to apply like literally all over the car because the car is hardly anti-swirl

Yes the SwirlX is going to remove the swirls after claying and before the SRP. The Meguiars 16 is an easy wax to use.

You will 100% see a big improvement on how your car looks and feels.

You should work in 1ft square boxes when you are using swirlX.

Hi,

I finally got the products and today managed to get my car washed, £5 car hand wash lol sorry guys

I managed to completely clay the car and wow what a difference it makes the car feels totally smooth but unfortunately before i could get any further, bloody pot luck always happens to me it starts raining

Quick question is there any way I could continue with the rest of the steps i.e. swirl x, polish and wax after the rain has subsided

I assume I don't need to clay again but the rain obviously has spoilt my plans, or would I need to wash the car again

Then apply swirlx, polish and wax ?

Cheers
