Car detailing and cleaning

h1gg1 · 03-02-2007, 22:42

Looking to go and buy some stuff for cleaning my new VRS 'black' Octavia tomorrow.

Thinking of some Autoglym gear.
But what?

Think i need a good shampoo - anything will do?
Good polish - which Autoglym one?
Wax - which Autoglym one.

There's so many washes, polish's, wax's in their range i just don't know what to do!!

What's the best advice?

Cheers

Autoglym Super Resin polish is good, however apply it using a slightly damp foam applicator and use sparingly. After that you could use a dedicated wax (such as Meguiars/Collinite) or something like Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection.

Poorboys Nattys Paste Wax is very good on yellow cars!

I am going to get some Collonite 476 to try next.
