Detailing options - advice needed

[Caffeine Fiend]

For all cars (black cars in particular), wash at least once a fortnight, preferably weekly.

Wax once a month. Very important not just for looks, but to maintain a protective layer over the clear coat. It's when there's no protective layer on the clear coat when the most damage is done

i have 2 types of washing for my car...

the "quick" wash is car shampoo -> slick -> hydro
the "i have 3-4 hours" wash is: rinse -> shampoo -> clay bar -> banana gloss -> slick -> hydro

do need to take it to dan's at some point and get a full proper clean done
has quite a few swirls etc, but it still comes up nice and clean

Samski, you really don't need to add anything over the top once you put the Banana Gloss down. It's plenty good for both protection and shine. Save yourself using excessive product

Normally what I suggest as a regimen for most people who don't have paint protection is

Week 1) wash, dry, Prima Banana Gloss

Week 2) wash, dry, Prima Slick (if you have it. It has little to no protectant properties. Used mainly for shine, so it's completely optional)

Week 3) wash, dry, Prima Hydro (tops up clear coat protection)

Week 4) wash, dry, Prima Slick (if you have it)

Repeat from week 1

Every 2 months or so, incorporate Prima Amigo polish/Glaze in between the dry and Banana Gloss stage. This is optional, but very good at concealing minor swirls if used in multiple layers.

For cars with paint protection (provided it's done correctly) same as above except you shouldn't need to incorporate Prima Amigo until you come to redo the paint protection

That's awesome Dan, thanks mate!!

No worries mate.

Add to that say once every year and a half or so paying to get a proper paint correction done and he should be laughing

That's a massive compliment Joel. Thank you

It helps when you can bug the hell out of very patient people like yourself and ask lots of questions
