[maxamus]

Got a bit excited and ordred a load of cleaning products to keep me busy cleaning the Golf GTi, the Vectra SRi, and the Merc 220 Sport this saturday morning (hopes it sunny) 
Picked up a few tips from this forum of reputable cleaning/maintenance brands and did some research and bought the following:

  P21S Super-Absorbing Drying Towel With Case   
  P21S Bodywork Conditioning Shampoo (500ml)
  Zymol Auto Wash (473ml)   
  Zymol Wheel Brush
  Mequiars Rinse/Gritt Bucket Kit
  Meguiars Lambswool Wash Mitt   
  Meguiars NXT Generation Glass Cleaner (710ml)
  Meguiars Hot Shine Tyre Spray (Trigger 710ml)
  Meguiars Natural Shine Protectant

Ended up spending £92 

Will give the products a try and post back with some pictures.

Regards
Max

Not too bad though as it works out at £23.33 a car

I was the same as you and forked out wads on cleaning products (autoglym :embarassed:), But the car still came up a treat

I've tried
Zymol Titanium
Meguires NXT
Meguires Gold Class
and IMHO the Gold Class is best allround and a third of the price of Zymol

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Just read on that forum about the 2 bucket washing guide!
Also found out that "Wash Mitts" are better than sponges so i've cancelled the 2x zymol sponges and ordered a Meguiars Lambswool Wash Mitt
Also bought a rinse bucket

Will try this 2 bucket method this weekend

How do you guys apply the wax?
I've always had problems with it in the past where i've left marks (such as swirls and round motions created by applicant) where i've waxed.
