Detailing
 
I have a large range of cleaning products (they cover most of the back wall of my garage infact) but am always interested to hear what other people use.

I used to be an avid Auto Glym user but recently swapped to using Zymol or Meguiars products. Auto Glym is now only used for tar removal duties.

Polished Bliss seem to have quite a range, has anybody used this. If so what, as I heard it's name mentioned at Jap Bash this year.

Meguires for me. Recently bought the clay bar kit. Wish i'd tried it earlier. Really easy to use and the results are superb, especially on black. Once clay barred, I then used the 3 stage stuff, first paint crystal cleaner, then polish, then carnubra (or however its spelt!) wax. Takes alot of time, but once its done, you can just use the speed detailer for a while and the finish stays for a long time. Wouldn't mind trying the blackfire stuff, but its just so expensive compared to meguires. I use the meg's tyre dressing, which looks great, but its a bugger if you get it on anything, or brush past the car with clean jeans on!.

Scott - that is spooky!

My product list is EXACTLY the same - even down to the carplan tyre foam!

SUBARMAN - Surely you dont need polish. I thought you simply stood in front of the car with your hands on your hips and blew the dirt off - taking care not to blow the laquer off the paint aswell.

I use Poorboys spray and Wipe and Blackfire Wax, I have lots of other Blackfire products as well, it is great stuff :D It is on the expensive side but I think its worth it.

The results speak for themselves

Subarman, I thought your list was the same as mine.
I've been looking all day, and I couldn't find one of these in the garage.

I found too much of this tho' causes no end of problem :
