    Exclamation car cleaning help

    just a few little questions

    whats your oppinion on 'paint cleaner' is there really a noticable difference in the outcome of your paint once this product is aplyed

    also in order of cleaning it goes
    wash/dry
    'paint cleaner'
    polish
    wax

    correct??

    the last time i waxed my car it felt like i was rubbing a erasor across the side of my car, what did i do wrong??

    also i have a product called 'quick detailer' could this be used in replace of a seperate wax??

    cheers

    Have a look here for the full Detailing Order - CCP Guide To Detailing

    Regarding the waxing last time - did you clay bar first? If not you should this time to remove all that rough contamination.

    Quick Detailer cannot replace a wax, but can be used over the top after regular washing to provide more shine, and if certain products more protection.

    Have a good read through the guide and other topics and let us know if you need help with products or other processes

    Turtle Wax is an off the shelf easy applied wax that you can pick up at any auto store. This doesnt mean its not as good as any other wax although it may not have as higher range ingredients or durability as the more expensive verisons. Some people will swear by it, others will tell you your wasting your money. Its up to you to decide wether or not the results you achieve with Turtle Wax are what you are expecting and want.

    The Clay bar process is very simple (although alittle tiring!) and makes your car have that factory smooth finish. You would normally use a quick detailer or a purpose lubricant.

    CCP have a range of Wax and Clay bar options for you to choose from that will give you the results your looking for: Car Care Products / Car Care, Car Wax, Car Polish, Car Covers, Detailing products & more ...
