Cleaning products

[Escort boy]

Hi chaps,

 

I want to buy some stuff which is better than t-cut or the other stuff you can get at tesco.

 

I'm looking to spend around £20 on a shampoo, and wax. The car in question is a dark blue 53 reg civic and it hasn't been cleaned in over a year. Would love to make it look really good but don't want to use anything harsh which will damage the paintwork. Cheers chums

 

If you know of any online places or have any links then I'd love you forever =)

also try clicky them, they also send out really good emails on car detailing

Awesome thanks fella, will get some of that methinks!

 

Would a green sonus bar be a good idea to get rid of any tar etc or would that be a bit dangerous?

 

Oh and finally what cloths/sponges etc would you use?

The only good product mentioned in this thread

 

Use that, but for the 2 stags before, use Chemical Guys Maxi Suds and Menzerna

I have seen car when washed covered in foam, like a foam bomb or something, whas the product(s)?

[Gonzo0]

Snow Foam used from a foam gun attatchment for a pressure washer

[Mike C]

any sort of car wash really (I usually use a mixture of 2 products)

 

and as said, it's just done using a foam lance

 

I'd recommend a Karcher 399 as a not-too-expensive option (£90-ish atm) and an Autobrite Foam Lance

 

buy them and you're away
