M/F cloths
M/F towel

yeah got some of them already just wasn't too sure what better types to use

Each to their own and budget, better to do it properly with cheap gear than not at all.

Swissvax gear is very good imo but I use a mix of it and other stuff.

Try polished bliss free delivery to and they give you advise on how to use the products:thumbup1:

Some of the products i use on albi blue.

-zaino shampoo
-all purpose cleaner through foam gun
-bilberry on wheels
-megs endurance on tyres
-megs mitt
-blackhole (great for covering swirls on dark cars)
-poorboys QD
-poorboys wheel sealant
-zaino clay bar (QD for lube)
-for a cheap easy wax try colinite or dodo rainforest rub

i presume you wont want to be getting into a DA polisher just yet, though they are a must for a black car lol.

I get most of my products from detailing world and clean your car.

What do you mean by a DA polisher?

Ahh okay, yeah I would be looking to get one just not straight away, focus on getting the rest done good first also with a trip to American coming up the bank account isn't looking healthy

I would advise against a DA polisher having got a meg g220.

Buy a cheaper rotary one and get down the scrappers for a cheap bonnet and practice on it till you are confident.

I have the same and get nearly fully corrected results, the clio has quite soft paint.

Though now im quite confident i wouldnt mind moving up to a rotary.
