Guys,
I am looking at making a few purchases to ensure my car is nice and clean the next time i wash it.
At present I have a hosepipe, a power washer and thats it.
So what are your top 5 recommended purchases?
Thanks

are you looking to do any paintwork correction or just be lazy? :grin:
decent polisher will cost you in the region of £140 so depends on how deep your pockets are?

Lazy :P
Paintwork is pretty spot on other than 2 tiny bits.

OK So i have just purchased this lot :
Sonus Green - Ultra Fine Clay refill
Clearkote Vanilla Moose Wax Hand Glaze
Chemical Guys Wet Mirror Finish
Collinite 915 Marque D'Elegance
Foam Wax Applicator
I did find an AutoGlym kit at home the misses got me for Christmas unopened so that can fill in the gaps to my kit :)
