R222 for me.
Lasts years, £50 well spent.

When I want to use a clay bar, I use Bilt Hamber - only needs tap water as a lubricant.

R222 is good though but you would have to use a cleaner fluid or polish before application of the wax,meaning more work.and it is not a all in one product.SJ.

you shouldnt need to polish your car regularly. do it once and claybar it then wax it. after that you only need to wax it.

Stop fibbing Mark, you just run outside and spray washing up liquid on your car when it rains.

Your kind of right but you clay bar first after a wash then polish then wax,the time scale for waxing a car comes from wax used and where the car is kept for example outside in all the elements or a garage queen.SJ.

As soon as protection and water behaviour changes it's time for another prep and wax.

ag hd wax can be picked up from ebay for £25

use a decent car shampoo like meguiars and you can wax once a month and then just was the rest,

all in one products tend not to be the best as there doing too many jobs, depends what finish you want i suppose and the time you want to put in

If you want something quicker protection wise than waxing you could try a sealant.
Auto finesse tough coat is very quick to go on and lasts for months. 2 costs have me 6 months protection and it takes minutes to apply.
