you appear to be doubling up on a lot of product here...

although it might seem more expensive try buying your products from a specialist like waxamomo as you will find better products at cheaper prices, more effective and you'll be able to dilute in the same manner that you're bilberry works.

spending £££ in Halfords is not the way to build up a detailing collection

tech, i also have the endurance but saved for the corsa, ive heard good things about it, the megs insane tire shine that im currently using im also finding a really good product, better than the simoniz i usually use

dragonfly, nice one, where abouts you from? im in tile cross, so feel free to pop round when ever you want for a cuppa and to wash the cars  :smiley: just watched a video of the z16, that looks really good, does waxamomo have it in stock?

guy, yes, i see your point, i do have a thing for buying more than one product for the same job, partly its down to having items for either car (the stuff for the corsa stays in the corsa where it is stored so i cant access it to use) also down to that i wont use my/better stuff on the gfs car, i only use cheap crap on hers as its only a punto, lol, plus, i just like the look/smells of products, speaking of waxamomo, the bilberry i bought from him and find it amazing product, its only the 2nd wheel cleaner ive ever bought, first was by comma and found that awful but was cheap

upholstery is a tough one, i need something tough when i use it, although i dont clean my interior often, only really give it a quick vac

I've tried quite a few tyre dressing products, and the best one for me is Turtle Wax 'wet n black'. Last ages, but the only downside is that no matter how hard I try, it finds its way onto the wheels and attracts brake dust and leaves an oily residue. Still looks and last better than any others I have tried though. Oh and AG bumper care is the tits for black trim!  :wink:

G101 is fine for interior upholstry, but..............(experts gonna shout and tell me it will ruin it probably) if cleaning the interior by hand, Rug doctor carpet cleaner is phenomenal imo!
