Car Cleaning/Detailing Question

Richard53

My full routine (once or twice a year) is:


Wash & hose off (AG Shampoo)
Clay
Wash & hose off (AG Shampoo)
Beer or tea, depending on temperature, while it drip-dries
Towel dry (microfibre cloths)
AG Super Resin Polish
AG Extra Gloss Protection
Clean glass
Dress all rubber and vinyl
Dress tyres


That takes half a day or more, and is quite hard work, but it's well worth it. It does look quite superb (this coming from someone who used to chuck a bucket of soapy water over and hope for the best), but the best thing is that it seems to shed dirt for months afterwards. It just stays clean. The extra time you spend is more than repaid in less washing (or quicker washing) later.
