Alot of the products you use sound like magic potions & most i've never heard of before.... or even thought that they would be necessary!
I think I can follow and understand why you do each process.... am I correct in thinking the clay bar lifts off any in-grained dirt & grime, before the polishing?
I would love to learn & understand the techniques fully so I can have a go at detailing my own car  |
Thanks mate, there's a good site where you can buy stuff but also read up on the processes of what to do and what each stage does

Claying is a really good stage to start with as an extra after washing the car, it really picks up all the stuck on bits of dirt, tar, bird droppings etc - Usually when you've washed the car if you run your hand over it you can feel it almost feels gritty like there's still stuff stuck on it but after claying it will feel smooth like glass....
Then it's best to polish and finish off with a nice wax or sealant.
Let me know if you have any specific questions but the more you read up on it or look at stuff the more you learn and the more money you'll spend ;-)
