Going to start detailing

Post by gangstarrrrr » Thu Feb 21, 2013 11:48 pm

So when I got the S4 a few months back I had a new car prep done. It had ceramishield applied, a nano sealant that's supposed to last the better part of 2 years.

I've given some thought as to how to keep it clean, it doesn't need too much attention, even in this weather, however I have taken it to over the rainbow where they foam it and use a 2 bucket method for 10 notes.

Been wanting to clean it myself for a while but not having a drive has made it tricky. Well my parents moved nearby recently so I have somewhere to do it!!

Picked up a refurbed nilfisk c110 on cleanstore for 30 quid.
Got a snow foam lance and 5 L of magifoam from AutoBrite.

Then some bits and pieces:
3 wash mitts, 2 buckets, 1 with grit guard, microfibre cloths. Megs gold class shampoo. Valet pro bilberry wheel cleaner, a wheel brush, foam applicator pads, autoglym srp + egp.

Realised I don't need the last 2 as they'll cut into the ceramishield. Am going to have a bash this weekend. Will take some pics and report back.
