This is edited from my build thread that wasn't getting answers fast enough. I have a deadline. I need this stuff to arrive and be done by the end of the 1st.
So, this month I've saved up about $800 usable dollars for myself and was kinda at a crossroads on what to do with it. Save it? All on the truck? All on a PC? Other projects?
Well, I've decided that I mostly wanna do work on the truck, and at least 1 or 2 projects that I don't have materials for, already, if I can.
And so, I want to ask you guys what products I should get for detailing my dented baby!
Seriously. I wanna do the full gig. Wash, clay, polish, buff, shine {aren't those the same?} then seal and wax!
So, quick Q, is it perfectly okay to order the least expensive pressure washer, foam canon, and DA polisher to do this with? And, after that, what actual products should I get soap, clay, polish, sealant, and wax wise? I've heard collinite 845 talked up a lot around here....
Also, I'm planning on basically using the ChrisFix method of 'Super Cleaning' your car. Only, I want to use nothing but top/nearly top tier products {{and inexpensive tools because I'm not made of money}
{{I already got three buckets, a 'bucket head' vaccum cleaner, and am about to order a grit guard and microfiber wash mitt right and such later. EDIT:: I actually have everything I'll need aside from soap(s), clay, polish, sealant, wax, and a DA polisher already in my amazon cart. Make the best recommendations for the cleaners, and the least expensive, but decent recommendation for the DA polisher.}}
And, for possibly later down the line, what steps can I take to correct deep[er] paint scratches and other imperfections on the truck like a couple of chipped areas or the large peeling/fading section on my bumper cap?
