DFB You are Evil giving ideas on how to sort & organise your cleaning products like that.
Looks like I have some work to do in the garage that I didn't know I had.

T3rminator, with Hydro I end up reapplying roughly every 2 months.
Mainly because it so easy to apply and doesn't take long.
There are better longer lasting coatings around but based on results versus ease of effort to apply and cost, it is hard to beat.

I will also give a recommendation for Aerospace 303 for the interior.

Very timely thread...got a random orbital for father's day.

Have been told I should wash and clay "decontaminate" and strip whatever polish wax might still be on it before polishing. Car is 2 years old, garaged when at home, and I don't work near a railway line or industrial area, so am not sure if "iron decontaination" is necessary???.

Mate who usually knows **** all (but acts like he knows everything) says I have to use a professional product to remove whatever wax/polish might be on it, but another guy far more trustworthy reckons Morning Fresh dishwasher liquid or truck wash will do the same job (strip wax etc) and will leave me money for the things where I shouldn't skimp on cost such as compound (he suggests Scholl), claybar and more pads.

Is iron decontamination suggested every time or only when needed (how can I tell)? And will a dishwashing liquid or truck wash do the job to strip wax etc or best to still get a professional product for this?

Dishwashing liquid is an absolutely terrible idea. It’s full of salt.

I have never done a iron decontamination, used to be just wash, clay bar, polish, seal. I do plan on trying “three way” by bowdens at some point which is used as part of a clay rubber/bar process.
I wouldn’t get too hung up on it however.

Autoglym super resin polish or paint cleanse and restore by bowdens will be all you need. No need for a cut and polish unless you have damage to the paint.

Went to my local Autobarn after work today and they had the Bowden's Buckets in Stock.

So that made the decision for me, as my options here are limited to what's available.

25% off on all detailing products sealed the deal.

Ended up with a 'WASH'. 'RINSE' & 'WHEELS' bucket as well as two grid guards and some 'Snow Job' snow foam washing shampoo as I have a very dirty, dusty black car to wash and detail and want to reduce any further swirl marking.

I'm pretty sure you can get iron contamination from the brake discs. Not just from what's in the air.

I'd do it if it hasn't been done before. But probably wouldn't do it everytime.

I used Iron-X from CarPro. You would be surprised at how much iron it exposes when you use it.

My experience with truck wash or any of those washes that remove grime as a spray are not that good for car paint.

You will be surprised how much iron contamination your car has despite it being relatively new.

There are two types of iron decon, mechanical (clay bar) and chemical (Iron X / Bowdens Three Way ect). Clay bars can induce some paint marring, but you plan on polishing so that shouldn't be a problem. Iron Deco products simply melt the contaminants away. Both of these products only need to be used every year or so depending on the vehicles usage. I personally think people use a clay bar far too often.

Also, please don't use dish soap. The Clay bar and polishing process will remove the old wax/ sealant.

For you, I would use the following process -

1. Wash the vehicle.
2. Whist still wet, but out of the sun, use a clay bar with either a quick detailer or a soapy water solution.
3. Dry vehicle.
4. Polish with an all in one type product. Scholl stuff is excellent, as is Autoglym Super Resin.
5. Wipe the vehicle down with IPA or a something like Bowdens Flash Prep or CarPro Reset.
6. Apply a wax/sealant/coating.

yer forget about dishwashing liquid and more so Truck Wash especially on paint.
Too damn harsh.
yer give it a good bath and dry.
Claybar it.
I've used
P21S Paintwork Cleansing Lotion is a pre-wax cleaner and polish, made from a special blend of cleansing agents.

Then use your favoured wax and finish.

Hey CATXR8, as usual very nice - haven't used any Wolfgang but read good reviews.

It seems strange that there are not many car detailer spec vacuums.

I'm using this Bosch at the moment -

https://www.bosch-home.com.au/produc...ers/BGS5ZOOOAU

If you have pet hair to tame, no vacuum will conquer that stuff. Use a Lilly Brush.



I also find having a stiff bristle brush handy for stubborn carpet spots to help lift the dirt whilst closely following with the vacuum nozzle.

Correct, I would have thought there would be more options but not much.
I'm after a small user freindly one compared to that Bosch you use.
I'm seeing those Big Boi's the R......strong suction not sure but write ups are positive and obviously can use as a drier.
I just want to see more options, might check out some US sites.

When I was looking to buy a car blower, I contemplated getting something that would both blow dry the exterior and vacuum the interior, two products in one.

I ended up going for a blower only, the idea being to eliminate the "jack of all trades, master of none" situation.

That Bosch has landed in the garage because the indoor vacuum was updated to a stick vacuum.

I'm not sure of any product that smells like that new car smell.
Only that if having leather seats some of those products leave that good ol worn leather smell of the past.
Funny you mention that, my Sprint still has the new car smell from the day I drove it out.
Being not a daily I suppose helps retaining that smell.

Car detailing product at are like Engine Oil choices. But with more choices!

I bought one Bowden's Own product (Fully Slick) and things just escalated. The thing I like is that they just work. Every product I bought just works!



I've found a YouTube channel that tests Fully Slick and also Happy Ending against some high end competitors. The below is Fully Slick.

https://youtu.be/3EzZ9nelfhk

And this is Happy Ending

https://youtu.be/QDV9MnjM2jE

I just purchased this. Just waiting on my Snow.Cannon so I can test it out! Went over my partners car with Fully Slick yesterday. I had already detailed it and decontaminated the paint with two layers of Collonite wax. Now it feels slippier than a Politicians promise.

Also got a small free sample of Nanolicious Wash. Smells great, and 30ml is more than enough for 10L of water. Also rinses out of my wash mitt very easily.

Wheely Clean is great. Even their foam "All Sorts" tryre applicator pads are great..Snow Job is a great product and love the 3 way decontamination spray.

I haven't tried Bead Machine sealant yet, and it would take a lot for me to drop off Collonite #845. They don't make a polishing compound yet so Meguiar's Ultimate Compound / Polish are still my go to.for doing work by hand.

This one doesn't use brushes. It is touchless.
It can be a good prewash then go home and start detailing if you want

As mentioned it's the Chemicals. One member on here runs a hydraulic hose business and has told me that in the car wash places he goes to he replaces their Stainless steel hoses every two years.
