Car cleaners - which is best?

[rharris21]

Over the weekend I had a good read up on car cleaners and cleaning techniques etc and I just wanted to see what pher's use on their P&J's..

There were so many brands that people recommended..

so.. what cleaners do you use?

If you are looking for consistency and for a reasonable outlay then probably AutoGlym would fit the bill nicely - tons of specialist products out there(no doubt the professional detailers will respond with the best of the best) but can't knock the AutoGlym stuff on a meagre budget.

I use the finest cleaning product of them all; money. Gets the car sparkling every time

I have plenty of autoglym car polish, and it does do a good job. But i am looking to go that little bit further and i suppose i'm willing to spend what is necessary. from reading about valeting cars this weekend I was surprised at how much people do to their cars. My technique was rinse the car down, wash with good car cleaner and hot water, jet rinse, then apply the polish etc.. Since then i've read about applying clay?! Seems I have alot to learn about valeting cars..

Polish.

Considerably better than the Lithuanians.

Zymol Shampoo
Meguiars NXT Wax every wash or 2
Autoglym Super Resin Polish when I feel its required.

Works for me and not stupidly expensive.

Turtle Wax Platinum range...

Excellent stuff and easy to use with great results, ...and a three for two bargain in Halfords.
