what i have so far

[Tazzy]

all the products used for the golf

the cheap simoniz shampoo is a winter shampoo, i use it if its cold outside and it needs a quick wash



all the products used for the show car only, non of these have even been used yet as the car still isnt finished, all are meguiars



all the megs products i have (more to come when i can afford it) most of these havnt even been used, i just buy them because i like them, im not even going to add up how much its cost me :/



all this is still only part of all the stuff i have to clean my cars, things i havnt took pics of, the pressure washer, 3 buckets, 2 more wash noodles, more chamais's, more microfibres, metal polish, my 'science' kit for mixing my own stuff/the stuff ive mixed and the stuff for the gfs car as well

my question, anything im missing or need? (i know i need an application block for the endurance)

cheers ta, thanks very moochos

Various brushes and a wheel wax. Megs must love you - is there any of their products you don't have?! 

[Tazzy]

something else i forgot to take a pic of, lol, all the small brushes and cotton buds i have for the introgate areas

wheel wax, yes, for the show car, the alloys are painted white, never seen seen tarmac, only the garage floor  so theyre still in mint condition

and yes, a big meguiars fan 

[dragonfly]

Any wax?

you sponsored by meguairs ?? 

you have a good collection but would chuck away all the simoniz stuff.. im currently using chemical guys shampoo which is very good and a very good price and you only need a small bit 

Get a decent wax as the Techwax stuff is rubbish get something like collinite 845 for winter.. and a dodojuice supernatural hybrid for summer 

Also get poorboys wheel sealant saves loads of time when cleaning the wheels

HTH

nice one, will look into these, simoniz i use as i find it cheap for the not so important areas, like foam cleaning upholstery, tyre back to black (not got any atm) and dash shine, as well as using a cheap winter shampoo

waxes is a tough one, i have turtle wax as a paste form, and megs nxt gen spray wax in well, spray form, i cant get on with paste waxes, i keep eyeing up the dodo waxes but i know i would get frustrated with them as i find paste annoying to work with, i waxed a mates car for him earlier with his dodo orange crush and didnt like it at all, although smells really nice

cheers

Cheap shampoo is loaded with water and foaming agents, try a ph netural one.  Cheap tyre dressing are rubbish and don't last. Don't make your dash too shiny it will refect badly in the sun.
DJ waxes are good as long as you apply them thinly and allow them to cure. They do give very good results and durability.

[Tazzy]

what shampoos are ph neutral?

ive also tried the AG tyre shine on my mates car, but as that was a spray, its very weak, it ran straight off the wheels, gave it a shine, but only for the day, with the tyres going back to their awful state, in halfords, most of the tyre shines look cheap that wont last long, i find the simoniz stays until i next clean the car, as i run my finger on the tyre, the product is still there

i prefer liquid waxes, im eyeing up the megs step 3 carnauba wax atm?

cheers again

[tech1889]

i have megs tyre shine and apply with a tyre foam pad and it lasts me fine...

move away from megs and look at other stuff not supplied from halfords mate you can get them for same money but last longer and better for your car dont get me wrong i have megs stuff but also have loads of other makes.. try glossworkz by chemical guys that is a PH neutral shampoo and has gloss enhancers so the paint looks better 

And for interior i use G101 which is sooooooooo much cheaper than megs and probably simoniz as 5 litres i can dilute to 25 litres !... if i dont use G101 i have megs interior quick detailer and find it great and not glossy or siliconey...

[dragonfly]

As above Glossworkz or Bilt Hamber Autowash.

G101 or Bio Bro Brisk are both good for the interior

If you want a nice natural look then try Zaino Z16 tyre dressing.

If you ever need a hand Tazzy just give me shout I'm in Brum as well.
