I now use Meguiars products :thumbsup:

I think it's more in how you clean your car, rather than the brand of products. Most of the stuff you can buy these days is not bad. A good quality wash mitt (I don't like sponges), shampoo, leather or preferably waffle-weave cloth, and some wax, 2 buckets and/or hosepipe and a few microbre cloths. The list can go on, but for starters this'll do you okay.

NEVER USE WASHING UP LIQUID!!! unless you want to strip every last bit of wax/polish that you put on your car.

Here's a very good link........... and well worth the read http://www.hyundai-forums.com/t45238-corre...-techniques.htm

There's also plenty of tutorials on youtube.

Post pics when you're done :whistling:

If it suits you then OK. I wax my car once every 4-5 months. The other issue with wax wash I had was silicon reacting with black plastic and leave white residue. The black trim pieces looking tacky and really horrible then.

That's exactly it......... :thumbsup: For some people it's just washing the car, for others it's nearly/is an obsession. I probably fit in the middle somewhere. I don't wash my car as often as I'd like to, so when I do I tend to spend ages doing it.

Going to Half//rds on Sunday to get some stuffto clean and seal the alloys

Some of the alloy wheel cleaners have acid to help get rid of the ground-in brake dust........ it also eats away at any laquer and the alloy finish itself. Choose wisely :thumbsup:
