Car Wash / Car care products?

[muncher]

As above, what do you use to keep your car in tip top condition??

I use, (use this as a template if you want)

Wash - Meguires Soft wash,

Cut and polish - haven't done it yet, whats good? I've got Meguires Scratch x, and found it did nothing to my previous car..

Wax - Meguires Crystal wax with a foam applicator

Interior - Meguires interior mist (to clean also smells rad!), armour-all (to shine + protect)

Tyres / Wheels - Yuk-off tyre shine + autosol for the wheels

Metals - Autosol

Carpets - No vac, keeps em smelling nice

Engine bay - repo (red can) heavy duty cut and polish works well to shine shit up + degreeser and petrol to clean any oil n shit.


Can't think of anything else, but would like to know what you guys use and maybe some pics!

Any detailers out there whats the best way to do it!

Cheers

Honestly..

The Servo Handywash.. keeps my car clean.

Manually wash it, then take it through the auto wash after.
Chamois off what's left over..

On the interior i use an armoral sponge after vaccuuming and wiping everything down with a slightly damp cloth.

Use to use a waterless wash which was always interesting.
The window cleaner that came with that was insanely good.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (muncher @ Jun 2 2008, 07:22 PM) </div>don't have any pics. You only have to use it every now and again, but it gets rid of light scratch marks and leaves your glass looking like new. I'm pretty sure that you can get it from Autobarn or maybe repco, not to sure as my dad bought it ages ago

[muncher]

sounds good!

I've been told that you can also polish your windows with wax to help protect and shine them

Others input would be appreciated.

Meguires is the clear winner so far!

I use water, whatever detergent i have lying around in minute amounts.

Oh, and a sponge.

Bucket.

Air dry.

Polyglaze cut and polish

Maserati Brite-Shine for any shiny bits (errr, few and far between)
