Claying a little help needed

Post by chewy »

I am currently collecting a few product ready to give the car a good clean when summer finally arrives so for I do the following:

Rinse
Snow foam (1cm Maxi sudz 2 and 1cm snow foam)
Rinse
Wash (Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss)
Rinse
Wheels (Valet Pro - Bilberry Wheel Cleaner 4:1)
Rinse
Dry (Microfiber Drying Towel)
Tyres and Trim (Chemical Guys - New Look Trim Gel)
Glass (Stuff from work)

Now I am looking for a clay bar and lube, polish I can apply by hand, wax and a sealant.

Any help is greatly appreciated

wax :

Polish (Also use this as a sealant)

The Klasse AIO and collinite is more than adequate as a polish/sealant/wax combo. But if you want a seperate sealant for whatever reasons also, go with:

Clay Bar:

I would just use spray water to lube the clay, just as effective and MUCH cheaper than quick detailer. I'd then use this quick detailer upon clay completion:

hope this helps.

I'd recommend meguiars clay kit.

Look at this for a result after a quick clay & wash.
