if your looking after red heres my current procedure.


Wash with a mild shampoo like Mk5 Very Cherry,
Use a lambs wool wash mit to avoid scratching paint.
Dry with a drying towel not leather to avoid further abrasion.
Cut gently with a compounder like 3M.
prep paint with a pre wax cleanser like Dodo juice Prime Lime.
Use a good wax like Dod juice Rainforest rub ( pricey at 40 pounds but i am moving over to the better stuff at 89 pounds a pot)
then seal it with a Quick Detailer such as Dodo juice red mist.


Clean it weekly and when possible garage the car.

my paintowrk is like glass but thats due to hard work, but the car looks so fine when its done the comments make it all worth it.
