cleaning and polishing - Jonny81191 - 18-05-2012
What do people use?
I've been looking at stuff to get in time for FCS, I want the following:
Shampoo,
Wax,
Tar spot/scratch remover (the new G3 stuff seems good)
Quick detailer
Anything else people think I've missed!
Not looking to spend too much, but don't want total rubbish!

Paste wax is your best bet ag intensive tar remover don't bother with a scratch remover just get a compound polish such as Meg's ultimate compound and do the whole car. Shampoo auto Glym is good megs is fairly reasonable too although price can put people off. QD demon shine is handy for it And cheap often on offer at asda

A sponge and a cold bucket of water should do the trick
Re: cleaning and polishing - Jonny81191 - 20-05-2012
you forgot the sand to mix into the water. and you need to roll the sponge on the floor every so often.

I may have used a green scourer to clean alloys before selling a car. only works once or twice before the scratches are visible... :oops:

Meguiars gold class shampoo is really good. Great foam on it, just lasts sooo much longer. I can do my whole. At with quarter of a bucket. Don't tend to use it too much anymore as have snowfoam now, but is good for when I can't use that.
Haven't personally used the domestic line of the g3 stuff. Seen what the industrial stuff does though, and if it's anything like that, then it's epic!
Dodo juice blue velvet car wax. Does a pretty good job, and as its colour specific to the car, it does a good job of hiding minor defections. Lasts a good while too, and makes snowfoaming the car a toddle. Not to mention it smells fapping awesome! Lol
