New car coming wednesday so need some supplies. Halfords is BOGOF on cleaning products so...

Budget of £50 what do I buy?

Need shampoo, polish, chamoix, wash mitt and not sure if they sell it in halfords but some clay.

Please don't, go to www.cleanyourcar.co.uk and buy some meguiars hyper wash some R222 wax and some wash mitts and then drive down to Costco and buy a 20 pack of microfibre cloths

Then get this result:

2 buckets
a sheepskin wash mitt
a soft wheel brush
AutoGlym shampoo
Meguiars Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner
AutoGlym Super Resin Polish
polish applicator pads
forget the chamois and take a bunch microfibre towels instead.
Halfords also sell the Meguires clay kit with a bar of clay and a quick detailer spray.

You will get at least as many answers about wax as people that you ask, but the Meguires Gold Class wax is ok. So is AutoGlym Extra Gloss Protection (Dodo supernatural is massively better but not sold by Halfrauds!)

Meguiars Endurance High Gloss Tyre Protection. When I first started out I got some cheap paintbrushes for getting dust out of all areas of the interior nooks and crannies.

Got Megs Shampoo and clay bar from halfords, ordered the R222 carnuba wax after reading some good reviews. Spent more than £50 though!!
