Xmas list???
« on: December 15, 2012, 05:56:44 pm »
Xmas is a good opportunity for me to to top up my car cleaning bits. I usual use autoglym products but fancy a change and heard some good things about poor boys products specially black hole and natty paste etc. Not looking at the expensive stuff like swisswax etc and have used dodo products before...

 Anyway what are the recommendations based on personal usage and results for -

Wash shampoo
Polish
Wax
Alloy cleaner
Tyre/rubber sheen
Interior

Wash shampoo - am loving duragloss 901. Been using it for a year now. Love it.
Polish - still love my menzerna polishes
Wax - recently tried BOS and loved it. If you don't wanna spend that, look at R222
Alloy cleaner - still using Bilberry but will be trying AS smart wheels next.
Tyre/rubber sheen - gliptone tire'n'trim jelly. Like megs endurance but lasts longer

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

^^^^ Do like the Megs Endurance for the tyres (as long as its applied a good few hours before you use the car) so if you reckon that the Glipton Jelly is better might be worth a look!

Have recently been converted to Poorboys Natty's Paste and must say I like it, wouldn't say it was any better the the Victoria Concourse Wax (which is easier to apply IMO) but seems to last longer.

I've asked Santa for a heap of stuff from polished bliss's website. Can't remember what though!

Wash shampoo - Zymol Natural Car Wash.  Easily the nicest smelling and smoothest shampoo i've used, and can be bought from Halfords  :laugh:
Polish - Menzerna 3.02.  Gonna need a good run over with this in the spring.
Wax - Auto Finesse Temptation - Spoke to Richard at Polished Bliss yesterday and apparently its a great all rounder, easy to apply and remove.  
Alloy cleaner - I need more Megs Wheel Brightener
Tyre/rubber sheen - Just bought some Auto Finesse Revive
Interior - Auto Finesse Spritz and some more Autosmart Berry Blast
