Ok, now that I got your attention... haha

1. I'd like to ask you guys to pick out for me exactly what should I buy from pre wash stuff to the wax... I'd really like to do it the right way and not buy stuff that wont work for me but for sure I want the PC..

2.My plans are just to detail my car which is a dark pearl blue color which is a daily driver and don't want nothing all crazy detailed I just want it to look really nice :D

3. I'd also appreciate for any help with interior/rims/tires cleaners also

4. Do you guys know of any product that will take off paint overspray from the black trim??

5. Which vacuums do you guys use? any links of the ones you recommend will be great! whether they are powered by the car or an electrical outlet, I'm open for anything that works great.

6. How do you guys clean on the inside part of the vents? kinda hard to reach..

Thanks for the answers guys! Really appreciate it you guys are saving me money ;)

If you do a search on each of your questions you'll find lots of opinions on what people use, pics too, so you can decide which route to take.

You need to do some research on the forums in the specific areas of the questions you have. Go on autogeek.net and read the descriptions of the products you are interested in. They have very good descriptions of there products and there use's. They also have each category seperated. Most all of the products that Autogeek sells are of high quality and are effective in there category.

Most people will ignore posts like yours that ask all these questions at once. The reason for this is that basically everything your asking about can be found on the forum with 1 hour of reading different threads. after you have done your research on the forum, go to the show and shine section and see the results of each product being used and which products some of the professionals are using.

hope that helps.
 
Since I have some time I'll help you out some.

Here are the basic steps of detailing your vehicle.

Wash- Meguiar's Gold Class or Optimum No Rinse. Pretty much any wash media will work fine.

Claying- ONR as lubricant and Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay or Meguiar's Mild Clay.

Polishing- Menzerna Power Finish is a good polish that cuts well and finishes down with a high gloss. The Wolfgang Twins work very good as well. Total Swirl Remover and Finish Glaze.

Paint Sealant and Wax- Ultima Paint Guard Plus topped with Collinite 845.

Spray Wax- Optimum Car Wax

Detail Spray- Finish Kare 425, ONR diluted to QD ratio, Ultima Waterless Wash diluted to QD ratio.

There are many products that Autogeek offers and they all doing a great job and work!
 
Go HELP youself..use the search feature...let us know what you decide
 
I kinda want to laugh at OP and post...

"Really appreciate it you guys are saving me money"

While I understand asking questions, etc. But it seems like you want us to do ALL the work for you????

Like others said - research, search, read and then ask questions...
To me, don't you want to do some research on what you are going to put on your car?
 
:welcome: to the forum. We are usually very nice with our replies, so I apologize for anyone that has been rude or short in their answers.
It is a good idea to read for about a week or so and get a feel for the helpful folks. Mike Phillips is the guru here so try and find his posts. He also has a lot of videos.
The reply from Rider9195 is a very good one. I can tell you that we all have our own opinions about what we like. That is based on trial and error but most of us use the recomendations from the senior detailers on the forum. I am sure after my post you will get some helpful replies similar to Rider's. Good luck.

Please dont apologize for me. This forum format couldnt be any easier to navigate for basic information.
 
Thanks to all the nice replies and if someone already told me to search why do people keep on telling me to search? Don't really see the point of repeating.

I've used some detailing products and I just wanted to know which each of you thought was the best at cleaning.

This was my last step by step car wash..

1. sprayed the rims/tires with Eagle one A2z cleaner and let it sit for about 2 minutes.. rinsed the car with water and right after, got my wash mit and put in the bucket filled with the water and meguiars gold wash and washed from the top down and dried it off.

2. When I finished drying, I went to get the mothers clay and cut it into a piece a little over the size of my thumb. Made it into a circle and then section by section started to clean the paint with little to no force while doing this (correct me if I did this wrong)... When I finished, I waxed the whole car by hand with the Meguiars ultimate liquid wax.

3.Then I used the invisible glass on all of my windows and glass and wiped off with a glass type of mit of some sort lol

4. Right before I came back in I put the car in the garage and put the wet eagle 1 to let it sit overnight.

How does that process sound? Anything you'd change? The weather was about 60 degrees so I think that is decent weather for this work :D

Some problems I ran in to and hope u can help with.
5. was overspray all over the black trim in the exterior? How do I remove it? Or do I have to repaint?

6. It seemed there was some sort of overspray on the sunroof of the car looked like paint but could have been anything else.. Do you guys recommend anything else than the clay to fix this?

7. water marks on some parts of the glass.. how to remove?


Thanks for your answers and if you're gonna tell me to search please don't waste ur time...
