is there any mail order companies etc you can get cheap cleaning products for cars ?

dont want to wait till the shows - car will need cleaning before then :lol: and i cant wait until the car show day to buy auto glym polish etc because stands might not open early enough :lol:

found a hydra blade thing on ebay - although CJ said meguairs chamois was better.

im after autoglym - at show prices :twisted:

halfrauds:

63.94

on top of that i got to buy a sponge, chamois, or hydra blade.

halfrauds do a couple of sets, which save you a four or five pounds. might invest in one of those.

i get discount on autoglym at my local parts shop, so it's not worth me swapping. unless i can persuade them to start stocking it

Furry muff... but speaking as as a normal consumer I wouldn't go back to autoglym... lol

Does it leave your hands soft too? LOL :lol:

I've just bought a kit for wheels called "Muck-Off". It comes with Alloy cleaner (that won't destroy your alloys like some cleaners), different sized brushes to get in between the spokes, sponges and a tyre gel.

Good stuff.

what do i need to buy??? again - same as autoglym they stock lots of stuff!

i understand autoglym extra gloss, has a higher shinee factor than super resin etc....

Never believe how mags rate stuff. It's all rated on how much the mag gets paid to say nice things about the product. Always go off someone else's experience.
