Big Clean / Detail where to start?

[chris851]

I have a big drive coming up on the weekend (with the girl's parents) and wanted the car to really sine / glossy. Her dads really in to cars and a bit of a clean freak. guess i wanted to make a impression... whats the best way to go about it?

I had a look at meguiars products and polyglaze but not sure where to start?

i used Armor All from hear on but read on the forum and told its not the best and contains silicon...

Chris as discussed I use Magiuars waterless to keep my paint clean as it is quick and easy way to remove minor dust and water marks.

Dash Dandy is fantastic but you wont be able to get any of that except through the gb and that will not arrive in time. I cant remember the interior cleaner brand but it is "something 303".

It is a good idea to use a paint protector on the exterior paint too. Stick with name brands. I like Magiuars and Autoglm.

Make sure there are no stains on the seats. The girlfriends father will not like to see them.

Hahaha shit didn't even think of the seats... will hit autobahn / repco tonight. seen Autoglm at repco on special the other day. will try and find that Magiuars waterless pack maybe. Cheers still laughing

Exterior - Paint
1) Wash your car – I always go to Big Bucket, just next to Bunnings at Parafield. I use that touchfree automatic wash. $14 for the Ultimate one.

2) Wipe of any excessive water.

3) Meguiar’s Waterless Wash – just apply on the area where it is not clean

4) Meguiar’s Ultimate Quik Detailer

5) Meguiar’s Ultimate Quik Wax

Make sure the microfibre towels that you are going to use are clean though. Tear off the tag on the towel or it may scratch the clear coat/paint.

Don’t forget to clean + polish the wheels & exhaust tip as well.

Interior
This should be quite straight forward.
