Daveb99 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I'm new on here but having had a few nice cars over the years I thought I'd share some of the detailing products I've used successfully. I've always tried to keep the cost down (driving the thing costs enough as it is nowadays!) so these are good products for the budget conscious owner. I've used many different products over the years and these seem to work very well indeed for the money. Wax - Smart Wax (pink) or Meguiars Wheel wax - Poorboys Wheel Sealant Wheel cleaner - Muc Off (Acid free) Glass cleaner - Autoglym Fast Glass Clay bar - Meguiars Lubricant - Meguiars Kwik Detailer Leather cleaner & treatment - Liquid leather Hope this is useful, I'll add more products as I think of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clayed mine earlier this year and took ages and got filthy within a few days but there we go. Keep up the good work bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philb1965 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I'll add my bits I regularly use: Megs ultimate wash and wax ( yellow stuff) cleans well, nice and sudsy. Supa snow foam - this definitely softens and removes some crud but not the best, got it with my lance so I'm going to finish it! Will be trying something like magi foam next. Farcia G3 clay ( clay and tin are good, applicator is a waste of time. Similar to megs, easy to use). AG SRP...great cleaner polish. AG HD wax...love this, can't see me bothering with any other. Megs Ultimate quick wax...really like this, top up the shine every 3 or 4 weeks, easy on/off. Megs last touch QD...good value, clay lube, drying aid and gives a bit of bling. Espuma Revolution wheel cleaner....absolute bargain, great value dilutes 10:1, brilliant cleaner. Tardis for tar spots. Iron X...for iron deposits. Think there are cheaper alternatives out there now. AG fast glass AG bumper care Wolf nano sealant for wheels. Daisy APC from tesco. I need a decent metal polish, using some old chrome cleaner from years ago. Loads of other rubbish I never use now.

Daveb99 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Decent metal polish......either Autosol, or Autoglym metal polish. Very good for the price and lasts years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chettle Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Metal polish you can not go wrong with autosol! What would folk recommend for black/dark paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
