shampoo/polish - for me its gotta be this magical stuff....Zymol
fantastic stuff, if you can get ure hands on a bottle of it.
trim cleaner - after a good scrubbing, i find the AutoGlym bumper dresser does the trick...even if it has the tendancy to attract more dirt if not dried off fully before driving the car again.
windows - any type of window cream...or a good spray type
tyres - fark knows...ive yet to find a decent one
alloys - a fresh bucket of Zymol shampoo + water <img src= "smileys/grin.gif">
p.s. any suggesstions for the tyres?

bought some zymol wax today from wrk
smells like cocunuts - you end up stinking of the stuff!
what do you use to apply the polish and buff it off?
ciars
17th March 2003, 02:51
aaaa haaaaaaa! its smells lovely! shampoos the same.
i use two muslin type cloths, one for application and one for buffing...does the trick for me anyway.
