Help what's the best cleaner for shows
What the best stuff to use on my car to clean it when we got to shows as being white it attracts a lot of bug guts.
I know Ryan will have the answer for me, Obviously I just want a spray to clean it. I'm unsure as when the car is dirty and you spray on a cleaner will you just be moving the dirt about and scratching the car |

Cheers Scotty
I didnt mean to when I wash and detail the car I mean on the drive to the shows my car gets a bit dirty with the bugs etc, so when we get there what can I use there and then to clean it off I see some people spraying somthing on their cars and wipping off the muck. But seeing this makes me think if your wipping a dirty car will it scratch it as you cant wash it. |

I just use any reasonable quality quick detailer and a microfibre cloth regularly turned.
If the car is clean before you set off and its just a few bugs etc, then it works fine. https://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/exter...tailing-sprays Obviously wouldn't do this on a dirty/heavily dusty car. |

P40 Detailer from Elite Car Care or Clean Your Car dot co dot uk.
Great product that works on pretty much any surface. And a pack of baby wipes for the wheels |

Yeah so long as the car is well protected (sealed and waxed) then any quick detailer will do the job
If the car isn’t waxed then bugs are more likely to bond to the paint like any other contaminant... As with everything - proper preparation and protection is key for easy show wipe downs... U thinking for simply jap? If so, I might have a free Sunday the weekend before if you wanna give her the once over weather dependant? Ryan

Yeah I was thinking for the just jap show, my car has not had a coat of wax since iv had it sprayed so long over due now. If you dont mind I would love you to work your magic on it as I'll probably make a pig ear of it . Be good once we do that detailing thing then I'll know the best way but I'm sure your show me anyway. How did the wedding go, hope you had a great time. |

I tend to use Meguiar's Rapid Detailer. Works pretty well if the car has already been cleaned beforehand, I then top the wax up with Meguiar's Ceramic wax spray and she's shiny again!
