Hi, I`ve been on Autopia for about 1 year, but its only recently that I joined as a member (this is my first post). I can`t post pictures of the products that I have (I don`t have 10 posts yet). I drive a black 96 Honda Civic hatchback and it was repainted to a glossy black before I bought it. Here`s what I have now:
Polishes
TurtleWax Polishing Compound (Green tub)
Meguiar`s Deep Crystal Polish
Mothers Reflections Premium Polish
Mothers California Gold Scratch Remover
Waxes
Dupont Teflon Car Wax
Meguiar`s NXT generation Tech Wax bottle
Mothers California Gold Carnauba Cleaner Wax (came with Clay bar)
Clay Bar
Mothers California Gold Clay Bar
Quick Detailers/Lubricants
Mothers California Gold Showtime spray (came with Clay bar)
Clay magic Clay lube
13 Microfiber cloths
3 Terry Towels
8 Meguiar`s Yellow applicators (and 1 green from NXT)
1 thick, big yellow sponge for washing
Also, what order should I use these products? The last time I used (in order):
Armor-All Car Wash
Drying with terry towels
Clay Magic with lube
Meguiar`s Deep Crystal Polish
Dupont Teflon Car Wax
(I only had these products at the time)
So, here`s a few questions that I was wondering if you guys could help me with:
1. What`s the best stuff to use from what I`ve got?
2. What order should I use them in?
3. How well does the Scratch Remover (Mothers) work? Would using one of the above polishes work better?
4. What can I do with the leftover Clay Magic lube?
5. What are the dangers of some of these products to my paint (ie. Turtlewax Polishing compound being highly abrasive)?
I know this is a pretty long post, but I hope someone can help me out here!
Thanks!
