Preparation of the paint surface is 90% of the end result, the final layer/s of sealant and/or wax only make up the last 10%.

There might be more different opinions on what is "best" than there are detailing enthusiasts Different products have their strengths and weaknesses (shine, protection, ease of application, durability, water beading etc etc). Also many people will recommend different products depending on what colour your paint is and whether it is metalflake or not.

Might be better to ask someone with a car with the sort of finish you really like what they did to get that particular result.

hip hip hooray.....the best comment i have heard on here for detailing section

Very true m8 its all prep that in the end will give the results

JVL Elite Detailing

I would say prep is 98% of the end result.

You need to have a swirl free finish so the paint is completely flat. That way all of the light is reflected perfectly. From there you can put on an optically clear product that contains no fillers, Dodo is a great one.

Whats on it now?

It might help if you gave a hint at your budget & level of committment.

Are you happy to pay $1400 for something like Swissvax Crystal Rock (there are more expensive out there too).

Are you anal like the dude in the UK with the white Astra Nurburgring? That guy is committed (or should be committed)

[Driven Threads]

My car is the same colour as yours so I hope this helps. For my preparation for DOVW, I cut back using menzerna range of polishes. USed dodo lime prime to prepare for wax. Which was Dodo blue velvet. I was happy with the result.




EDIT- And I used Aqua Wax Detailer (I think?? thats the name) and autoglym show shine for last minute preparation.

[Mrk_Mickey]

I'd be happy with those products on that car mate, they sound fine to me

Although...maybe a Dodo Juice hard-wax suited to your type of colour may be better - but hey, it's all wax.
