Re: What do you use for car care?

you should be able to get a full yard style groom for your car for $100 cash at any groomers, this will include a full cut and machine polish and wax

Re: What do you use for car care?

Mothers California wash and a soft towel to dry off the car. Unfortunately my new flat has no hose so it's been a while.

Might have to pop round to Sams work

Re: What do you use for car care?

Meguires NXT Wash, NXT Polish, NXT Tar remover, NXT Window Cleaner and NXT Quick Detailer......Ohh and Hot Wheels for the shiny stuff...

This stuff is only good on new paint as it has high cleaning ability and high end fillers........and my paintwork has a sexy silky feel witha fantastic shine as well.

Kem-o-pro 308 Interior polish for the vinyl inside as that leaves no greasy residue and cleans real good as it goes.

Re: What do you use for car care?

Just use what evers on the shelf at home to wash. Polish I went to a car paint supplies store and brought cutting compound and finishing polish from them by far better than any off the shelf stuff I have used recently

Re: What do you use for car care?

Tidying up the junk room over the weekend I came across a box full of things labelled Mothers, Meguiars, Turtle Wax, Armor All... I fear if I ever get 30 minutes to myself at home I may have to show the family wagon a bit of love...maybe...

Re: What do you use for car care?

usually use waterless cleaner, comes out just as good as a wash with soapy water and takes about 15mins if the car is a bit dirty, pretty amazing stuff.

if its really bad use armor all wash and wax, then wax with meguiars cleaner wax followed by NXT gen tech wax. Couple of times a year or as scratches appear I go over the whole thing with meguiars scratch x. oh and meguiars endurance tyre shine on the tyres, come up great

Re: What do you use for car care?

Grapewash, 20L for $80 - best car wash ever.

Followed by multitudes of Pacer products, most amazing products and cheaper than anything you can buy off the shelves of Repco etc.

You have to be kidding, all the smellies and foamy stuff in the world doesn`t make up for actual cleaning action of a good product.......Its cheaper for a reason...and it`s not that cheap either, specially for the quality !!!
