ChrisUUC Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Seeing as the good weathers coming (hope i havnt spoke to soon ) Thought id see what the Zed owners are using on their cars these days in terms of cleaning/washing/drying/waxing etc etc. Maybe give some new people some ideas in terms of what products get the best looks ... So basically list your products and even a recent picture of how your Zed has ended up by using them ... sorry if a repost but thought this might be a good resource for some people. My Hardware ... Valet Pro PH Neutral Snow Foam Valet Pro Detergent based foam (For wheel arches, wheels/tyres and underneath) Autobrite Snow Foam Lance Meguiars Last Touch Autosmart Trim Wizard (Great Stuff) Autosmart Smart Wheels Cleaner (Great Stuff) Clean your Car fluffy drying towel Eurow Shag Pile Double Density Towels (CleanYourCar) Meguiars Foam Applicator Pads Autosmart Microfibre Applicator Pads Zymol HD Cleanse 500ml FireGlaze Sealant Collinite 476s Halfords Pressure Washer Havnt got my Zed yet so will post a picture when I get one and get it cleaned up Although heres my old 200sx using the same gear: Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmarky Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 When i clean my car i have to go to my old mans house as i dont have a outside tap at home. Taking all my cleaning gear used to be a pain but ive got it down to a fine art now. This is what i take: 2 Buckets stacked together containing - 1 x Meguiars NXT Generation car wash shampoo - 1 x spray bottle of Gunk degreaser - 1 x large wheels brush - 1 x Autoglym Interior Shampoo - 1 x Autoglym Leather Cleaner - 1 x Meguairs Hot Rims Wheel Cleaner - about 6 various size detailing brushes Then the following gear i always carry around seeing as i only rarely drive the car and it mostly gets driven to wash or go to a show. Large Autoglym bag containing - 1 x Meguiars Gold Calss polish (use on charcoal bits of the car) - 1 x Meguairs NXT Generation polish (dont use much) - 1 x Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner (spare in case the megs runs out) - 1 x Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover - 2 x Autoglym Paint Renovator - 1 x tube Autosol - 1 x Autoglym Engine Cleaner - 1 x Autoglym Car Glass Polish (rarely use) - 1 x Endurance high gloss tyre gel - Wire wool - new Stockinette - new Halfords own microfibre towels (cheap, good quality and machine wash well) Meguairs Cleaning cool bag - 1 x Dodo Juice Orange crush soft wax - 1x Dodo Juice Red mist - Kitchen Roll - Cling Film - 1 x Autoglym Vinyl & Rubber Care - 1 x Meguairs lambs wool wash mitt - 1 x Meguairs Deep Pile Microfibre Wash Mitt - 2 x Meguairs Water Magnet drying towel - 1 x Meguairs NXT generation Glass Cleaner Then I have a Meguiars plastic bag with used stockinette and microfibre cloths.
