Yup in the one I work there's 3 for 2 on autoglym,

Get some super resin polish, ultra deep shine, and extra gloss protection :y:

Steer clear of the Aqua blades and the chamois' though! Swirl heaven!

The halfords range is not to bad to be honest,

If I was you I would be looking at getting a decent shampoo (Megs gold class, I find it's good), some clay (again megs). The megs 3 step I would steer away from though, I don't rate it very much myself (from past experiance). I hardlly use the basic range of Megs halfords sell now though.

Super resin is good, bit of a pain to remove but gets the job done. Also the megs microfiber towels are pretty good :)

Zymol auto wash is a pretty good shampoo. £5.99 for 500 ml i think, really bubbly stuff

It clouds the finish, (canubra wax). Paint cleaner is not to bad..

But it does not get results like blackfire/poorboys etc does. There in a different leauge.

Paint cleaner is actually quite a good product. I have to agree with Cloud on the blackfire range, gives alot better finish. Even Karl couldn't stop rubbing up my car:homme:
