Auto Glym Aqua Wax, for me.

I know it is not in the league of some of the products that the serious detailing boys use, but if, like me, you don't have a great deal of time to spend cleaning cars, I have got to give this a big thumbs up.




Very quick and easy to use as in their video :

Two shampoo's that I really like are: Serious Performance's Ultra Gloss shampoo; and Chemical Guys' Glossworkz.

Both are Ph Neutral so won't strip any wax you currently have on the car.
They do add good gloss to the car.

Two i use are Autosmart duet, a wax safe shampoo with added wax. Its a trade product so not the easiest to get. Other one which is easy to buy is this one http://www.beavercare.co.uk/for-cars...shine-car-wash it leaves a great finish.

I use Autoglym car shampoo and conditioner and I add a couple of capfuls of Mer into the water as well.

Meguires Car Shampoo is very good.

Autoglym Shampoo Conditioner is another good product.

I find eco friendly washing up liquid excellent. I always rinse with rainwater.
