What’s products do I buy next?

[pistonhead345]

Since lockdown I’ve just started getting into cleaning my car myself and I’m really enjoying. Initially I started off buying a cheap demon kit , a basic wash mitt and a drying towel. I’ve added extra bits recently such as a snow foam lance detailing brushes, extra microfibres etc. Now the demon products are finally running out and I need to replace the whole lot. Now my dilemma is do I buy another beginner kit such as EZ Car Care’s weekend warrior kit while I learn the best methods which I’ve heard is really good for £40 or do I start getting the more expensive individual products such as Bilt Hamber or Meguiars Thanks

The more reading I do it just confuses me even more, there are so many products out there and ask a question on any detailing forum you will get a different answer from everyone.
You won’t go far wrong with bilt hambers stuff, they are great value.
Some videos i enjoy watching but he is a bit ott on some stuff and will cost you a lot of money!

If you really want to get stuck into cleaning, get yourself over to detailing world forum. There is LOADS (too much?) of information over there, and some very OCD people.

I'm a big fan of SOME of EZ's products, especially when they have their mad sales on. Gloss Boss, Citrus pre-wash, Sleek, Viper and Slick are all pretty good, and their snowfoam and shampoos are as good as any others. Their glass cleaner is pants, it leaves a film which is a PITA to remove. I'm a fan of Poorboys waxes and wheel pastes and for glass and leather care you won't beat G-Techniq products.

Some of the Auto Finesse kits are good. Head over to Halfords for a decent selection.

Tried joining but they don’t send the confirmation email so I can’t post

Do you recommend me to just get the weekend warrior kit for now?

For £40 you can't go wrong - at least you can try the products.

At the end of the day you can do just as good a job with some kit from Halfords, it depends how obsessive you are about cleaning.
