What Way Round Do I Clean The Rocco???

[RavG99]

Hi Guys

This is going to sound really stupid but I recently bought 2 buckets with grit guards, britemax iron max, lambswool mitt and autobrite magifoam and autobrite lance too. Also already have the shampoos and waxes

My question is what way round do I clean the car to get the best possible look...

Pre-wash with snow foam
Rinse with pressure washer
Spray iron max (agitate where needed with brush eg. alloys)
Rinse again with pressure washer
2 bucket method shampoo wash
Rinse again with pressure washer
Dry
Clay bar all over
Paint cleanser all over
Wax all over
Sealant all over

Is this the right way round as Ive never used snow foam or iron out stuff

Thanks Guys

Below is the order I would do it. It doesn't really matter which order you do the paint cleanser and iron max, people have opinions but you defiantly should apply the sealant before the wax. You don't really need the wax on top of sealant but it won't hurt, it might add a tiny bit of shine but I'd stop at the sealant if you are not entering it in a competition.

I agree with post above. Same order I would do. Although you dont have to dry the car before you clay it. And id personally choose either sealant ir wax not both. You will get great results and protection from either long as its a good product. Doing both just seems to add even more time cleaning a car and little difference in shine.

Well spotted on the drying whiteDevil. I just dragged and dropped the order of things, didn't think to delete anything. Drying before claying is a waste of time and effort.

Sweet guys thanks. What sealant and clay would you lot recommend?

I use Werkstat Acrylic Kit. Lots of people get good results on white cars with this.

I don't know what clay I use, I think they are all pretty similar, I use Dodo Juice Born Slippy clay lube but again they are all pretty similar.

I have found that there isn't many contaminants left for the clay to remove after the paint cleaner and iron remover.

Sealents look best on white cars. I have used auto finesse tough coat along with tough prep to prep paint for the sealent. Fantastic sealent. Car was protected easy 5 months. You can also use tough coat as a quick detailer after you have washed your car to top up the existing protection. Werkstatt kit is very popular and seems to get mad reviews. Personally only having used tough coat id say that. Got to much stuff to buy wekstatt just to try. Im sure I posted pics of my car with tough coat on. Ill have a look

You will need to wash and dry it after the claying process as there will be lubricant all over the car.

The best sealant i have seen so far is blacklight by chemical guys. Absolute Ultimate wet look shine.

Even for a white car?

i havent seen it on a white car, but rising blue and black, its awesome. A good polish for lighter cars is Zaino show car polish, but im not sure on sealant... ooh, actually, here it is on DW on a white car
