Whats the Best way to do a full detail..

[George10]

Hi lads..
Just wondering what the best way is to do a full detail?
And what products are most recommended..
Atm I'm doing:
Snowfoam
Rinse
2 bucket wash
Rinse
Dry
Clay
Rinse
Polish
Wax
Is this the correct way?
Cheers
George

No, I would just call that a good clean.

Lol, I had the same idea yesterday: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,63828.0.html

Haha what would you call a detail?
Did you? I know a few people that use this method and it does work well..
Just seeing if there's any other ways

Machine polish, de-contaminate the paintwork too, get in the arches and panel gaps etc

As Joe says, I'd add a citrus pre-wash into that along with de-tar and iron/fall out removal. And then obviously onto the interior!

What's a citrus pre Wash?
Do I do the de tar once I've cleaned the car?

[ripmateyy]

Don't forget alloys, tyres and exhaust pipes 

[George10]

Yeah can't forget about them

Clay barring the car should be sufficient to remove tar unless there is some other magical way of doing it!!

Personally I'd rather use Auto Finesse Oblitarate or Tardis to melt the tar first, then clay bar.

Citrus Pre-wash.

I'd personally do the de-tar/fall out stage before washing - after the snow foam/citrus prewash and rinse.

Ahh perfect. Polished bliss are doing a 3 for 2 atm on all auto finesse stuff so just bought a load!

Thanks for that

PB is round the corner from me. The 3 for 2 has been great. Really rate AF gear. Oblitarate is brilliant. Never used Tardis but heard that's great too.
