WOW. Just ordered a load of cleaning products!!!!

[Rhyso]

just use a microfibre cloth to wipe the product on; leave to haze for an hour and then wipe off with a new clean microfibre; try and do it in straight lines to minimise inducing swirl marks.

Megs Lambswool mitt is excellent; I use one of them 

you'll be amazed at how much dirt is on your car when you look at the rinse bucket!

Excellent selection  never really understood the grit protector thing as my sponge always floats, so never really comes into contact with the bottom of the bucket, anyway have fun.

I'd get some microfibre cloths too for applying and buffing off the polishes & waxes.

£103 is nowt mate; I've spent nearly double that and I still need some stuff!! Grit guard being one of them......

what you spend on cleaning your car will pay for itself; I'd always go for a car that looks as if it's been well looked after   plus you can't beat a nice shiney car

Your not suppose to use a sponge 
Your suppose to use a wash mitt with the grit guard. You dip the mitt into the cleanwater bucket (the one with the grit guard) and then gently rub the mitt against the grit guard to remove the dirt particles removed from the car. The particles then float to the bottom and the gritt helps keep it down there.

Excellant customer service and they have all the best brands. They were not the most expensive either. On a par with Halfords and the free delivary is nice

yeah I would; i've got at least two cloths for each application i.e 2 for glass; 2 for paint; 2 for trim; you need one to apply and the other to remove and give the shine
