Best for cleaning White....?
« on: February 11, 2013, 12:49:20 am »
Been using the super resin polish and G3 wax, is there anything better for a deeper shine?

Needs to be fairly affordable mind, so I'm not talking best in show stuff, I'm thinking for regular washes?

Best is very subjective, have a search for shampoo, there's quite a bit of information already available

Granted, they are poor camera phone pictures.  

But at the weekend I gave the car a 'mini detail'.

Rinsed
Megs Shampoo Plus
Wheels done with Megs Wheel Brightener
Rinsed
Whole car coated in AutoSmart Tardis and wiped down
Rinsed
Whole car coated in Wolfs Decon Gel
Rinsed
Coat of Megs Final Touch
Dried
All paint and windows waxed with Blackfire All Finish Paint Protection
Plastics and Tyres dressed with Auto Finesse Revive

Blackfire is actually much better for darker, deeper colours but it was the first product i picked up and it applies and wipes down so easily.  It's about £35 i think and will last a long time.

Also in my kit i have the Werkstat Prime kit.  It's great for light colours.  Give that a try.

Here is the Werkstat kit - http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/werkstat-carnauba-kit-cat1.html

Here is a Poorboys kit - http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/poorboys-light-glaze-and-wax-kit-cat1.html

I've used the Poorboys stuff for years and its amazing for the money.  Their waxes are a softer paste wax that is so easy to apply and wipe down.

I have tried several products on mine,and for my taste the Gtechniq EXO looks the nicest,wax depth with seatant shine,more Hydro something .. whatever,feels more silky and anti static than some (blackfire,tough coat),

Not real budget price but cheap enough at £50 something for 180ml, but one can do trims,glass,exhausts ect with it so saves a bit on other product which makes it better value.

Only caveat is panels need to be warm for application,so unless you are Bruce willis its more than likely there is a hair dryer somewhere around the house, and snow foam is now a waste of time as it dont stay on long enough to be effective.
 As with most other Gtechniq products keep well away from the windscreen,that is unless you like a smeary wipe from juddery blades.

Oh and a healthy coat of Iron X works wonders on white.
