Need help with detailing products for a black convertible
*cross posted in the Northeast section*
I saw there's an Adam's detail clinic this Saturday at Corvette Mike's, but I won't be able to make (final Saturday before the tax deadline, and being in public accounting... ). I called a local detail shop to have them do it, and the quote included the Corvette tax. With that said, I'll commit the time to do it myself. I detailed cars many years ago so I know how involved it can get. Most of the products I used then were bought in bulk and wholesale. I have no desire to buy 5 gallon jugs of products anymore.
I do still have my older DeWalt variable speed buffer and pads, but they've seen better days. What do the detail guru's use and suggest? Zaino? Adam's? Off the shelf stuff from the local auto parts stores?
The car is black and has its fair share of swirls and water spots. The car looks fine from a few feet away. It's not show quality nor will it be, but I do want that clear, deep, glossy shine.
