I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on a good set of products for cleaning and polishing their cars.

I spent a lot of time on motorways in scotland so the car get a lot of muck and spray all over it and is very difficult to keep clean.

First of all wash ur car in Auto Glym car shampoo then once rinsed and shamyoed (sp) use Auto Glyms Super Resin Polish. If u want it really shiny use Extra Gloss Protection afterwards. They also do glass cleaner, alloy wheel cleaner and bumber care. Aim to polish ur car with the resin fortnightly and use u should ave a shiner!!!

Swissol wax is the best by far! Easy to apply, gives a great shine and makes future washing easier!

Meguiar's. Gold class shampoo, Quick clay, paint cleaner, polish, Gold Class wax. Then wash once a week, wax monthly.

Do a search for a bloke called the "wax wizard", use him once a year and your car will thankyou.

use the car wash at the local garage, at least that way other people down your road will not think that you are a *****.

Autoglym Wax seems to leave a nasty white residue on black plastic. At least it did on all my company cars- the stuff doesn't touch my Impreza.

Narco, ur supposed to use the bumper care to get rid of that. Also if ur left with a white residue u havnt buffed out properly!!!

get someone else to clean it, not as cheap but at least it's fun watching someone else do the work for you!

I've just started using Zymol shampoo and polish from Halfords. It's Swiss made as I believe Swissol is (name kinda gives it away eh?!) and is damn fine stuff. Definately no white residue if you get it on the black bits and is very quick to apply. Smells blummin luverly aswell!
