Car care and cleaning advice

[tayloricedesign]

Hi Guys,
This may seem silly but im looking at purchasing some new cleaning gear for the car, I normally use stuff like Turtle wax shampoo and T Cut and Wax.

I have looked into and email Dodo Juice but they dont really do a starter kit, I know there is meguiars and AutoGylm.

What do people use to get their cars looks shiny and bling LOL

I now use Autoglym and have been very impressed with the results, I use:

Autoglym Super Resin Polish
Autoglym HD wax
Autoglym plastic & Vinyl care
Autoglym Alloy wheel seal

as well as the above:

Meguires clay bar,
Turtle Wax 'wet look' tyre shine.


a microfibre washmit, use the 2 bucket method, get some microfibre detailing cloths

below is the thread i made last week after using Autoglym HD wax, to give you an idea of the finish:

obviously there are lots of other products that will be recommend, but if you want to spend a reasonable amount Autogym sell some decent starter kits and then just top up as you run out.

cheers

Cheers andy, im a really fussy bugger when it comes to cleaning and i hate my car being dirty just a friend recommended dodo juice and didnt really know where to ask as i know its a personal choice really.

Will take a read into it and let you know how i get on.

Thanks again for your advice.

no problem mate,

dodo juice is good stuff, but again its personal choice some people prefer some products/brands over others.

I am like you, i like to keep my car clean and can get a touch OCD about it. i do it by hand every week but i can't justify splashing out £130+ on something like swissvax wax. so i go for Autoglym.
I find it easy to apply and more importantly easy to remove after the curing period.


I have used Meguires and they do some good products too

At the end of the day effort = reward, take your time over it andyou can get the desired/quality results

Does kind of sum AG up, but I'm no fan of the stuff. . .
