I have an 06 silver AMG C55 in damn near 100% perfect shape and Id like to keep it that way! I am currently pretty basic...use a combo of Meguiars over the shelf stuff with microfiber towels and would like to step it up in a few aspects.
Exterior:
Wash - NXT Wash - good for low spot count, but I think it could clean better. I hear duragloss is good?
Bug remover/protector - was reading about the diamondite bug protector gel...do products like this work?
Dry - Absorber - ive had good results, not sure what you guys think.
Sealant - using Megs compound and megs polish only when necessary. havent used it on this car yet. would like to get a good sealant instead...natty's red was recommended to me, also Klasse.
Wax - Meg gold class - I like it. easy to apply. want to try something new though. Apply all products with microfiber towel.
Megs Quik Detail spray.
Wheels - Meguiars hot wheel spray combined with sponge/car wash soap/water - this is ok, but sometimes crud gets hardened around the corners of the spokes, would like to easily get rid of this and prevent (maybe a brush?). Mothers wheel polish, which I dont feel is necessary.
Tires - Megs high endurance gloss which I LOVE. Perfect gloss, not gaudy, lasts long.
Clay bar - Meguiars...used on previous cars was not impressed at all.
Interior - Meguiars interior spray (forget the "model") - i love this stuff, no need to change
I am going to do a solid detail before winter comes and want to step it up and get on a regular process. Not using a PC, all by hand. Im not a multi-day detail type guy. I typically wash once a week, and wax once a month. Id like to introduce sealant into the process, once every few months or so. I know if I do I'll need to clay first as well. I am known to engage this process outside in the sun from time to time too on nice days. I like to get it done in one afternoon too, so I think something like Zaino with an intense process is overkill for me.
Any recommendations? Dont have to go through the whole thing one by one, any individual suggestions based on my needs is appreciated. Thanks!
