Hey everyone,

I'm interested in peoples thoughts on products for detailing?

To be honest its always been a hobby of mine detailing my cars as well as friends and family's cars but iv always used the good old meguires but I'm keen on trying some new products and doing a more professional job. can anyone let me know what products you would recommend that would be fantastic. Also where would I get them as I currently live in Narre Warren Victoria ?

I was keen to find out quality brands for

car wash

clay bar

cutters

polish

wax

and a new set of buffing pads

Thanks again guys if you have any tips that would be good cheers

My current gear consists of...

Polishes and Compounds - Menzerna and Meguiars

Wax and Sealant - Chemical Guys, Dodo Juice, Optimum and Collinite

Engine bay cleaning - Autoglym

Clay - Clay Magic and Meguiars

Wheel cleaning - Bowdens Own, P21s and Sonax

Tyre Dressings - Meguiars and Bowdens Own

Car Shampoo - Meguairs and Bowdens Own

Plastics - 303 Aerospace for the inside and Black Wow for the outside

Glass - Meguairs and Rain-X

Buffing pads - Lake County and Edge

Lots of other brands I want to try but need to use up some of the current stuff first... want to look into the nano coatings next they are meant to be excellent, but at a price

Yeah there is no real "magic formula"...its all in application and the user...different combinations of products work for different people and different cars...

Shop around places like the Waxit website (has free/cheap delivery if you spend a certain amount) or your local panel supplies shops..There's at least 4 or 5 in Dandenong alone, if you want to try some different stuff...ask what they recommend and give it a try...

Pads come in many different sizes and shapes and textures as well...you wont know what works best for you till you try them all really ...

Currently im using Menzerna and Ammo products mostly and they work well, have tried the Scholl range and its very good too..I also still use Mothers/Megs and alot of other regular stuff from autobahn or wherever as well..depends on the job..and when i need the product..if its a sunday and you need it now...you have to make do with what you can get...

Just remember a good job is in the application as much as it is product... ;)

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
