Red paint

[Nev_LCR]

ok got a red LCR,

want to know you guys with red what do you use to full detail your paint.

been looking at clearkotes and poorboys,

ill be starting with megs clay and finishing with #16 megs wax but the bit in between i want some new products.

wouldnt mind a cleaner and sealent. and tips from a deatailer or a red owner??

Clearcote vanilla glaze is awesome on red paint.

Id also use Chemical guys wet mirror finish.

Will also need a polish in there, if by hand Autoglym Super resin polish, will fill in alot of swirls.

Best thing you can do is after a good polish is used a sealant that will provide tough barrier that blocks out UV rays which will prevents the red from fading. Chemical Guys Blitzs spray sealant, Poorboys Nattys Paste wax is a good choice if you prefere wax instead of sealants

I use the following...

Maguires Clay Kit
CG slick and suds II shampoo
Autoglym SRP
Autoglym EGP
P21s Wax

CG Wheel Sealant

Maguires Engurance Gel

Autoglym metal polish

All work very well together but P21 wax isn't too durable (3 weeks tops)...

my mate uses the p21 on his CTR and he said the same thats why i went for the megs #16 wax.

P21 is more for looks than anything else...CG 50/50 is supposed to be very good...

Depends on your budget really

CG 50/50 is awesome, easy on/off application, very deep wet shine and lasts long too.

Although if you want durability, go for Colinite 476, still beading insanely 6 months on!

I use megs nxt shampoo followed by Jeff Werkstatt Carnubra kit. More than happy with the result.

I think Blackfire products work very well with red cars!!

Best product of the moment for darker colours is Chemical Guys Jetseal 109. Absolutely blinding results. Have a look at Clean and Shiny. It is an extremely long lasting product but unlike most longlife products the results are awesome. P21 will give excellent results on a par with 109 but they only last about a week or until the first rain shower as durability is not it's strong point.
