What do you use to clean/dry and wax/polish your car

[Jezza-7]

Just wondering what everyone on here uses on there car and how good it is.

I am using autoglym shampoo, which smells really nice, a meguiars drying towel and in my opinion its 10 times better than a chamois. Little more expensive than the autoglym chamois i use. And i use mer polish. Not used wax yet but wanna try it. Any recomendations?

I have always used a chamois and thought it was really good but then a mate said try a drying towel so i did.

Let me know what you use.

Cheers

Diamond Brite.

Only needs polishing once a year when you put this stuff on. Highly recommended if you get a fresh paint job.

autogym shampoo and high definition wax applied with those little circular pads that have to be kept moist.

Sometimes do the merguiars 3 step, the paint cleaner seem to work well.

Mind you in this weather i give up, ditched again even if i don't use the thing.

Rain to wash it, wind to dry it.

wash with autoglym shampoo, on the big flat surfaces i dry the water of with a wiper blade and wind for the rest. autoglym polish and some other autoglym stuff for the finish (cant remember the name.)

Haven't washed it for a while, its been in bits in the garage for over a year! My R32 gets autoglym shampoo, autoglym chamois to dry, autoglym super resin polish every couple of months.

Auto Glym wax, Not cheap @ £25ish a pop but results are bloody good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i've used that showroom shine stuff before off shopping channel, you just spray on and wipe off, no water needed and it leaves a waxed shiny finish, expensive tho at £25 a bottle.

This is also Hayesey's method.

Infact their Polos only get washed when I do it! Although Hayesey did manage to wave a sponge over his last time it was down the unit...

I use Zymol shampoo (smells nice) and either Tech Wax, T-Cut Colour (tornado red owners know it ) or if I've got enough time, Meg 3 stage after a claybar. I find autoglym stuff is too dusty.

Meguiars bumper shine is the dogs dangalies! I use a silicone blade on windows and big body panels, then a proper decent chamois soaked in boiling water for a while.

G40 - zymol shampoo, rinsed with rain water (find it streaks less   ), left to dry. Polished with turtle wax colour match to bring the colour back up. Seems to do the job.

Mk4 - Imo carwash! :lol:

Polish car wash on the seafront, top job.

Megs NXT shampoo.

I use these cloths to dry up, did use the megs water magnet towel but then tried these and they are 10 times better than the meg WM cloths.

I then use some Megs NXT wax.

And to finish off i use this stuff, brilliant stuff but expensive, well worth it though.
