This is the first car I've owned that I actually took detailing seriously. I used some products that seemed ok and got decent results. What do you guys use and what was your experience? I am a novice and only describe my experience with these products. I do not proclaim any of these to be the best.
My paint wasn't that bad. Just some swirls in the fender from my girlfriend rubbing her butt on it and winter muck.
Salt residue remover for the entire car.
Meguiars clay kit - 2 bars and detail spray. 1 bar was more than enough for the car.
Griots 3 in 1 - It seemed like a decent product to address my paint issues. I still have some very fine scratches but I feel that was mostly due to my fear of doing too much. Only noticable if you stick your face up to the paint.
After this and a wipe down the paint felt super smooth and was ready for wax.
Chemical guys hydro slick wax - I hate powder residue from traditional waxes. I saw this and thought I'd try it. It went on and came off easily. No residue either. I did 2 applications of this. Chem guys says you can apply a finish on top of this. They recommend their products but I went a different route.
Meguiars Ultimate Paste - I applied 2 coats of this and it did give the gloss a noticeable pop. Also easy to apply and remove, no mess.
So what detail products do you prefer or only use on your R?
