    Hello,
    I've just changed car form a 20 year old Toyota Corona. I did'nt about how it looked and havent used washes waxes or polishes on it in years. Now that I have a newer car (a 3 y o mondeo) I feel I should look after it a bit better and try to keep it looking goog and protected from the elements.
    I've looked around this forum a bit and am now suffering from information overload. Up to the other day I didnt even know of the term car detailing - I still dont know if its different to valeting. :confused:
    Can anyone give a simple list of good products for keeping the outside protected and gleaming, that I need to start and simple instructions for use, or better still, recommend someone or some place that will do a good job for me. I live in North County Dublin.
    Thanks

    Hey Dub, been exactly in the same boat as you didn't know where to start , didn't know what detailing was but this where I did start. I know a lot more now or enough to be dangerous !

    Randy is spot if I were you I would simply ring Dave in Detailing shed and maybe pop over and have a chat to him. Super nice guy, really knows his stuff so so well and not at all pushy on products or extracting money out of you. That said good products are relatively expensive but they do last and are generally worth it. You will hear from many folks - it's all about the preparation.

    Also, the folks in this forum will give you tonnes of help too
