b1g_dav3 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hey guys, Well I'm picking up my Spirit Blue ST3 on Monday and I need some advice on cleaning products for it. With my ZS I've tended to just use a place that charges £15 for an inside and out job once a month if I get round to it, but this ST is going to be my pride and joy so I want to take a little more care. What would you guys recommend? I have a snow lance for a Karcher washer so I could do with something for that as my previous stuff I've used was junk and smelled of gone off banana. It's had some paint treatment that means I don't need to wax the car for 3 years according to my dealer, so I'll have at least 2 days worth of protection on the car naturally. 3 years is a push but 2 days may be a safe bet.

Philf1 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Good colour choice matey. The blue looks great when clean but does tend to show the dirt quickly and the wheels well let's not go there. I use a good quality snow foam followed by a wash with meguires shampoo when it's dried I use a 3 stage polish/wax then gloss enhancer In between waxes I just use the gloss enhancer As for which brand you pays your money and all that. Everyone has their own opinion on this I suggest you get well known brands from a detailing website and see what you like Kieran our resident Detailer, gingerflame, has a website "Yorkshiredetailing.co.uk" have a look at his stuff very competitive prices Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
