It's been a bit quiet on the car care section recently. I'm planning giving mine a good ol' wash at the weekend, this is my plan. Feel free to rip it to shreds.

Saturday:
Prewash (Meguairs Hyper Wash & Super Snow Foam via HD-Foam Lance).
Wash (2 bucket method, with Autoglym shampoo).
Clay (Meguiars quick clay).
Cover car over with tailored cover.

Sunday:
Wipe car down with Meguiars Quick Detailer (to remove anything that may have got under the cover overnight).
Super Resin Polish (2x applications maybe - by hand :-( ).
Extra Gloss Protection (leave for a few hours - may apply second application).
Autoglym HD wax (maybe 2x applications).

I am using these products because I have them all already.

All sounds like a lot of hard work.............but I'm sure it'll be worth it :lol:

An Autoglym rep told me recently at a trade show to use clay, then Super Resin, then HD wax. No mention of Extra Gloss in between (but I suppose it wont do any harm at all) I followed his instructions and after 2 coats of HD I was well impressed with the results apart from the fact I thought my hand was gonna drop off after using the useless application pad Autoglym supply in the box :(

Lets see some photos of your finished project? Heres one on mine a couple of days after;
