Car detailing guides.

Start with the job in front of you. Follow a wash from beginning to end, work out a measure, or find the method for one surface.

Plan your wash

Pre-wash, contact wash, wheels, then protection. The whole thing in sequence, with what goes on at every stage.

Compare the Complete, Wash, Protection and Finishing Systems. See what is in each one and pick Wash Shots, 500ml or 1L.

Pick the product and how you are applying it, and it works out the concentrate and the water for you.

What a wash actually costs in chemical, from the bottle price and the dose on the label.

What ZEST and FOAM each do, before a mitt touches the paint.

SKIN, ARMOUR and SLICK: which goes on wet, which goes on dry, and when.

Lance setup, dilution and dwell, and why the foam comes out different every time.

Cold wheels, a generous coat of RIMZ, and getting into the barrel rather than just the face.

Cool glass, two clean towels and a small area at a time.

Grit off first, TOUCH through a towel, then buff it back to satin.

A deep clean for a fabric hood, slotted into the middle of the wash.

Declared ingredients, hazard information, and how to ask for a safety data sheet.
