Products for LY

[jimpy9]

Right guys im after some decent products for my LY paint, im after a decent shampoo, wash mitt wax and detail brush and a drying towl,
Ive used Autofinesse on other cars but yet to use on LY paint, Oh and i dont have a machine polisher, so what do people rekonmend for the lush paint work

 

[inwardnoise]

For me Snow foam, 2 bucket wash with Megs gold glass and I use a dodo juice wookie mitt, dodo juice pre wax cleaner, carnauba wax and the. I use Zaino z3 sealant! Comes out gleaming and sun hits the LY better.

Only picture I got access to atm

If you've never given it a good cleaning I recommend

Wash (snow foam if you wish)
De iron (ironx etc etc)
Rinse
Dry (doesn't have to be bone dry)
De tar (TARdis, obliTARate etc)
Wash
Clay
Dry
Polish... I use auto glym super resin polish which is brilliant, but I've been advised that auto finesse (iirc) tripple is nice
Wax/seal, I tried auto glym extra gloss protection which is a sealant but really didnt like it, not sure if I was using it wrong but it didnt seem to last long and it took for ever to cure. So I got a pot of dodo juice orange crush which is amazing! Smells brilliant and after enough coats, tints the paint orange. Which on ly looks incredible



Not the best pic

Looking great Knuckles. Those pictures don't do the colour justice.

I know it's such a hard colour to capture

 

[jimpy9]

Good one lads,
Whats this de iron then?

 

[Mentalpen]

Removes fallout from the paint.

 

[knuckles]

Iron x on my clean paint





And on my clean wheels

 

[jimpy9]

How do you apply

 

[knuckles]

Spray it on and leave for 5 mins

 

[Mentalpen]

Do not let it dry!

 

[knuckles]

Yeah, make sure you get every bit off lol. It'll stain your paint if you let it dry on

 

[jimpy9]

Ok guys, do you know if theres any were that does like beginers whas kits?

 

[Mentalpen]

you really need to chose how far you want to get into it. Better to do it correct with crap products then crap with good ones.

The finish is all in the prep though.

there is a GB that may interest you HERE

 

[knuckles]

I bought the red autoglym valenting kit from Halfords to get the basic products I needed and added waxes, ironx, clay and TARdis to it later

 

[Mentalpen]

That's the best way, its took me a couple of years to get to my product range. It's now just a matter if keeping it topped up.

 

[jimpy9]

Cheers guys for the help. I may go for one of the dodo juice things on the gb
