Washing:
Megs Microfibre Wash Mitt
Megs NXT Tech Shampoo
Megs Water Magnet

Polish/wax:
Megs Microfibres
Megs Polish
Megs Carnuba Wax

:lol:

I clay it using - you've guess it - Megs Cay and Megs Quick Detailer. :red:

I also use their tyre dress, alloy wheel cleaner and gold leather cleaner. I wouldn't recommend the wheel cleaner as it isn't that great.

To be honest, the best thing I did was start using two buckets to wash the car with and the shampoo and mitt combo. Buy a proper microfibre/lambswool one though, not a cheapo ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£2 from Halfords job.

For hints, tips and products.

Wax is good, polish hasn't blown me away but it's better than cheap stuff. The 'paint cleaner' is crap :lol:

I've no idea what it's supposed to do but it was a waste of time.

Does she have a Startlet Turbo?

I can't wait to have a white car again :lol:

I can just save my effort.

ive used this stuff and not had any problems with paint cleaner. i washed my car like normal and used some of this and my applicator pad was dirty. so it must do something.

as for good polishes etc... try some poorboys stuff, 2 words, shit hot

If im giving it a proper going over it goes a bit like this;

All meguiars

Gold class shampoo, 2 buckets and wash mit
Water magnet
Clay
Stage 1 Paint cleaner
Stage 2 Pure polish
nxt gen wax
I use applicator pads and microfibre towels to apply/remove stuff

Wheels i just wash and then use the polish
And then the megs tyre spray stuff

And autoglym glass polish for the glass, but im not too sure about this, it seems to stop the wipers clearing the screen properly

So id recommend Megs too

I might try some off this stuff next though, people seem pretty pleased with it-http://www.fiestaturbo.com/forums/about133049.html

O and the paint cleaner gets rid of like dried on bird shit and removes light swirling. I supposed to get rid of oxidisation too, but i dont get that though so it cant comment
