I used a whole range of Autoglym products but I face a limitation of not having electricity, meaning no pressure washer, no polisher. After trying to detail like 20 cars, none of them look flawess, they bound to have some deep scratches, paint spot, stone chip defects which I could not eliminate with my arms!

Hope to hear more advices on about what are your recommended products or techniques you would use if you do not have any machinary.

By the way, these are some of the products I used,

AG Bodywork shampoo
AG Engine & Machine cleaner
AG Intensive Tar remover
AG Multiwash (powermax 3)
AG Fast glass
AG Vinvl and Rubber care
AG Bumper care
AG Super Resin Polish
AG Paint Renovator
AG O3B (bodyshop fine abrasive)
AG Clean wheels
AG Leather Cleaner
AG Interior Shampoo
AG Instant Tyre dressing
AG Car glass polish
AG Extra Gloss Protection
AG High Defination Wax - Always seems misty on hood after buffing wax away, read that it is cause due to 'wax sweating' still looking for a solution to kill it)
AG Supreme Polish
Turtle Wax premium gloss Paste Wax (Used once and put it aside)
Moxi Clay Bar/ Soft99 Clay Bar

There's no way you can come as close to perfection without a polisher. Polishing by hand just doesn't cut it, no pun intended. Why don't you have electricity? Ever think of a generator?

I agree about the generator idea.

No electricity no way I could go back to polishing by hand that and the results will never be the same.

I'm curious why no electricity, you don't really need a pressure washer to be honest but you do need a polishing machine (DA or Rotary).

I agree with these guys, detailing without electricity is an exercise in futility. All you will wind up doing is frustrating yourself. Get a small generator. I got a small(1850 watt) Coleman from Home Depot for about $450. Honda EU cyclo inverters are cheap right now and are dead quiet-my personal favorite.

I guess it is time to get one.

And for interiors, a wet vac is pretty much manditory.

I guess it is possible to detail without electricity and polish by hand (Meg's Scratch X?) but it definitely wouldn't be profitable ... once you get going you'll realize how quickly you can regain the cost of equipment.

Good point, I forgot about the interior
