Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to the forums, but have been browsing around for some time now. I live in Vancouver Canada, and I am just about to purchase some products from autogeek, and want to combine all my purchases at once since I pay a price for shipping over here.
My main question:
what is the best way to wash your vehicle without causing swirl marks, and I am just interested in washing and drying, no waxing at this point, as I am still learning through the forums. Here is how I currently wash my vehicle:
First off I rinse the car, and afterwards proceed to wash the car with Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo and a sheepskin mitt. I wash the vehicle in sections starting from the top. I then rinse off the section and proceed to the next section, of course I am using the 2 bucket method. For my drying purposes I am using microfiber towels that I bought at Canadiantire, and after trying the cd scratching test the other day I refuse to use them again.
For the interior I am only using microfiber cloths dampened with water, as the car is is still new (09 Maxima) and there isn't much mess yet.
The second part of my questions is regarding products. I am just about ready to buy some products from autogeek but want to check with you guys to see if my list is sufficient. Here is the list:
Shampoo: DP Auto bath Shampoo (http://www.autogeek.net/dp300.html)
Windshield: Stoner Invisible Glass Trio (http://www.autogeek.net/stoner-invisible-glass-trio.html)
Tire Cleaner: P21s Gel Cleaner (http://www.autogeek.net/p2wheelclean.html)
Towel: Supreme Cobra Guzzler (http://www.autogeek.net/cobra-waffle-weave.html)
Thats as far as I got totalling $70 (roughly). I don't mind going up to $100 as the shipping discout gets cheaper. I woudn't mind some advice on wheel cleaner / Shine or some other essential products that I am missing out of the list.
Thanks for your time reading my post, hope I wasn't a bother.
Sincerely,
Adam P
