What do I need?

Big-Mac

Mob ought a brand new 161 vrs Octivia in white. I won't to give it a was/polish the weekend.

What do I need, foam (snow) wash, clay bar, Good wax with no abrasive qualities and wheel/plastics dressing.

And where's the best place to purchase ?

worded

Have a look at micksgarrage.ie

Or halfrauds in carrickmines shopping centre and other locations

Where are you based op ?

Curran

Before anything else, top of my list would be; 2 buckets and scratch guards, a good wash mitt, pH neutral shampoo and a microfiber drying towel....washing with the two bucket method, they'll ensure that your paintwork stays fresh for a long time.

Following on from that and wanting to get the car protected, then yes, a wash, clay and wax/sealant is the way to go. Generally speaking a sealant will give better results on lighter colours. Collinite 845 is a fantastic all rounder.

Has the collinite 845 abrasive properties ? Looking for something without abrasive compounds.

Curran

As a rule of thumb, and wax or sealant, should have no abrasive properties. Polish is the product that has the abrasive additives. However, there are products such as All-in-One type products that do have some abrasive properties along with protection properties, so watch out for that.

Collinite 845 has no abrasives!

Cool, where's the best place to get some?

Its unlikely that you'll get it in any of the bricks and mortar shops - you'll most likely have to source it online.

Be careful - some folk will think you are getting paid to promote it regardless of whether it's a good online source of detailing products/advice

What's your thoughts on Turtle wax? The original hard shell stuff.
