Best products I've found for a showroom car finish
Have previously posted pics under a different title but thought it needed to be changed due to the response.
Got a bit of an OCD when it comes to cleaning cars!! Have gone through many cleaning products but have found these to work the best. Every 3 months I use Meguiars Ultimate Compound & NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 to give the glass like effect! Weekly clean, use from Wiko Triplewax Waterless Wash and Shine. And Triplewax spray on Fast Wax. Pics taken on my Sony Z1 phone with use of a filter to make it pop! Happy cleaning!!! Current Body mods: Gloss black alloys, grille and wrapped wing mirrors Rear spoiler Exhaust trim (video of mod) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZg7hQwQQfM |

In my case the problem isn't the products available , it's the owner

I like the bog standard hard wax from turtle wax, followed by that techwax stuff from Meguiars.
They seam to complement each other and last a good time, but i'm after protection not a shine. Preperation is always important so I always use a good cleaner think its called prewash in English, but I only know it by the Swedish name of 'avfettning'. I have never liked the quick shine stuff or other easy/quick stuff, it goes on nicely, but it soon comes off the car, and needs doing again. When I am being OCD I spend alot of time applying the wax using five passes in different directions, the results show but then my time disappears. Mike |

Good shine on that one! Must say I'm the same with my car .I prefer poorboys black hole as a quick wiz round ,nano waxes seem to be coming on too but currently use dodo juice products for a lasting deep shine

I got my mum some as you wash your car with it and thats it, So if u dint have the back, arms, and shoulders for it - then its worth a go http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/foru...d.php?t=211413 I think Ive washed my S60 two or three times from new in 2003 |

Nice looking car, love that colour and shine. Remarkable
A clean shiny car doesn't stay that way long in the rural area I live in, roads are filthy with muck this time of year.
