I need to bring back some life into my Porsche 944 that I purchased last summer and I need to buy some better cleaning products.

Can someone give me some recommendations start to finish of what products are best and affordable?

I have purchased a new Pressure washer ( Nilfisk 150P) which is very impressive so far but need most of the other items before I can start a full detail.

Also where is best to purchase these items from?

Thanks.

You need some snowfoam and a snow foam cannister, a decent washmit or two and some quality drying towels. Rinse down the car with an open ended hose once washed to sheet water off the car and it will be quicker to dry.

The art of a decent exterior detail ......excluding environment, involves four stages......clay, polish, glaze and wax. Clay will remove any surface debris, the polish will help bring back the paint colour, the glaze will help with a depth of shine and a wax will protect everything and allow the paint to pop.

Loads of online suppliers of kit, what is your budget, what colour is your car and how long do you have to do a really top job?

I like the Auto Finesse range of products, usually bought from Polished Bliss, they also have some good guides.

I use the Autoglym Range, I personally don't think you can go wrong them, iv tried the poor boys range but personally wasnt that impressed, however as you will see from the research you do its down to personal preference. SnowFoam is a must though.

Also dont forget the 2 bucket method
