Megs shampoo OR Turtle Wax shampoo if I'm on a budget.

I only use Canuba wax now, hard to find but OMG worth it! Especially when applied with a Clay Bar!

I let the Valeters at my work do mine in exchange for favours when they need there car fixed, The use Supaguard and then a Bodly polish of some sort. Just the stuff they use on the brand new cars.

When i wash it i use TFR then a shampoo by the same people that do the polish (think its autozone) and then tyre slick by autozone and bumper gel by autozone. I know its not like the mainstream stuff but the results are always perfect and it costs me sweet FA except meybe a bit of time.

djjoney

18th July 2006, 18:18

yeah craig thats the same thing as in the pic up there ^^ i know the mequiars orbital polishers are about £100
