New Car Detail- the last bits needed..
I just ordered £75 of gtechniq- I've never done polishing with a machine before, and don't plan on starting with my new baby.... So planning to skip the polish stage
I got: G-Wash (250ml) C5 Wheel Armour (15ml) C6 Matte Dash (100ml) G1 ClearVision (15ml) G4 ClearVision (100ml) MF1 Micro-fibre towels (x10) MF2 Zero Scratch Microfibre Drying Towel I already have: AutoGlym high Definition Wax Tuf Shine Tire Dressing Kit Still missing from my detail: Wash mitt Clay bar / lube 70% IPA + spray bottle A large undercover place to detail.... Any suggestions? Any thoughts on my detailing line up? Would love to have some advice from you guys / gals |

Yep, lake country makes hand polishing pads. My first time machine polishing was on a BMW but I read some guides and watched some videos first.
Sheepskin is good for wash mitts. ONR is good for clay lube+many other uses. Any clay will be fine; however, if you aren't going to be polishing, you want to buy the finer grades to avoid marring. Also, for the shady spot, you can buy one of those tents/canopies (probably want around 12x12ft) |

thanks guys.
the car is 14.1ft x 5.7ft. Will a 9.8ft x 19.7ft working area be sufficient for claying / applying sealant? |
