Hey,

I've got a two week old Alpine White. I want to give it a proper clean and get it really shining.

These are the products I was looking at:
Dodo Juice 'Born to be Mild' Shampoo
Meguiar's Quik Clay Starter Kit
Poorboy's White Diamond
Dodo Juice Diamond White

Kent Q2429 2-in-1 Microfibre Noodle Wash Mitt x 2
Meguiar's High Tech Applicators Twin Pack
Kent Q6600 Microfibre Towel Pack (6 Pieces)

Meguiar's Endurance High Gloss Tyre Protection Gel
Meguiar's Tyre Dressing Applicator Pad
Poorboy's Wheel Sealant

any recommendations on products? other things I need (other than two buckets )

a machine polish will bring out more gloss and shine than all the waxes you top your car with...I'd start it out with at least a one step, or a two step if needed and then start waxing to your hearts content

Thanks Re the Dodo juice. seems liked by a lot of people.

Regards the Meguiar's High Tech Applicators Twin Pack, will they be okay for applying White Diamond and the Wax?

I don't know where you're buying from but I like the dodo juice supernatural finger mits for wax.

A couple other quick comments:

1. For claying check our ONR, it's very very cost effective clay lube. I like dodo juice born slippy as well. I like both of those better than the megs kit, but a lot of detailing is personal pref.

2. Tire dressing is very much a personal preference but I find the megs to be way too shiny. Personally I like Prima Nero but again if you like a lot of shine then maybe the megs works for you.

3. You didn't list any interior prods, for dash/plastics Einszett Cockpit Premium is a fav of mine.

4. Wheels, you may want to pick up a good wheel cleaner like Sonax Full Effect

Well first proper Wash, Clay, Wax out the way. My arms still ache! But the car is looking good (Well I think it does)!

Thanks for all the tips on this post and the rest of the detailing pages.

In the end product selection was:
Soap: Dodo juice - born to be mild
Clay: Meguiar's Quik Clay
Glaze: poor boys world - White Diamond
Wax: Dodo juice - Diamond White

Tires: Meguiar's Endurance High Gloss
Wheels: Planet Polish Wheel Seal + Shine

Looks great man, white can take some work to be impressive. The PB White Diamond is one of my favs and is super easy, alot of glazes can be a PAIN to work with! Might I suggest that next time you detail, spend some time with a nice polish before you glaze it up with the White Diamond. Don't get me wrong, white diamond is a polish of sorts but it's more on the glaze side of things and really fills in and enhances what you've already polished. Either way your ride looks sharp!

For interior I love PB's Natural Look, it's good on every surface, water based, easy on/off and smells money. None of this "ohh don't get over spray on the glass on leather cause it will spot up"

Great job I love your lights. Did it come with the ride or you brought it online?

Cheers dude. The lights came fitted. They're the zenon/adaptive light option.
