iv never tried it mate but tbh. im not particually happy with autoglym stuff but you can get http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_16 6211_langId_-1_categoryId_165671 t for a bit more money and then you can learn to use the products than waste good products when the correct techniques. but then again im still leaning and someone else will recommend something else we'll see what happens

maybe this one?

That one dont look to bad either mate, I myself am just starting out was well. Looking forward to it but hear it gets really pricey haha.

[wadoryu]

[jordan1]

[wadoryu]

Get rid off the sponge in the AG kit and swap it for a mitt ;)

[jordan1]

Yeah, getting a lambswool mitt mate ;)

[wadoryu]

7 or 8 quid at halfords i got mine for. its soooo nice

this is a bit more exspensive than the ag, but will give a swirl free finish:y:

A shampoo with a lambswool washmitt and a waffle towel alone will NOT give a swirl free finish :err:

They will just prevent you getting swirls in the first place, i.e after a machine polish.

I think what he was trying to say is that you won't add anymore swirls to the paintwork using that kit he listed....It does look like a good kit and I think I may have to try one of them out soon! :)

imo the waffle weave towels aren't great and grit guards are completely pointless, defo better stuff to spend your money on.

[J222JRA]

I agree about waffle weave cloths.........ive found them to be abit rough.

As for grit guards.... i was always very careful washing our cars but still got the odd swirls mark........ grit guards have reduced the risk alottttt

but its not like a gg traps dirt at the bottom of the bucket... it just stops you putting your hand to the bottom... i can manage that without a gg.

[J222JRA]

I just like the fact that you can give the mitt a good rub on the grit guard to ensure all the grit is removed.


I am quite anal when it comes to cleaning cars....:oops: lol
