What?? Megs#16 is a great wax, and I don't quite get why you're steering people away from it?
Lots of products will remove tar if it's relatively fresh, so I wouldn't go bashing a great wax needlessly
Oh and Aqua Wax is fine, given that you're using EGP on your car anyway.
Otherwise, look at Natty's Blue, or Megs #16 from Matt:

Little birdy told me the CYC Miracle Dryers aren't from Chemical Guys, hence why mine wasn't much cop!
The SmartWax one which Matt sells is the same as the CG one though, but cheaper ;)
But he said they are sealed, so shampoo will be fine.
If you want a mild, dedicated cleaner, then look at the Blackfire or Gloss-It, but you won't get much change from £20.
Some QD's make good glass cleaners, as they have cleaners in them for paint (finger prints for example), so I'd tend to agree with Alex, but it depends on the QD.
Best bet for interior windscreen is an AG Palm Applicator (blue one) and a decent window cleaner, such as the MarkV one from...
Starting Point, 3 main products, shampoo, paint cleanser (polish) and wax.
For < £30 (All from I4D)
- Duragloss 901 Shampoo
- AG SRP
- Meguiars #16 Wax
Then add mitt, tyre dressing, glass cleaner etc.
Put some Megs Hyper Wash into a pressure sprayer and use that, then wash with a mitt and Hyperwash (or any shampoo). Works well, and saves you a fortune in wheel cleaner.
FF has more cut to it than Lime Prime though. Lime Prime can do impressive things via machine, so I'd go with that if topping with a wax, or Britemax #4 if topping with a sealant.
One of these kits will be your best bet, depending on the type of polisher:

Menz 203S and the Menz Polishing Pad will do the business:

Elite have had their delivery today, and will be added to the site later.
They have the US Gallon of the QD in, which dilutes 1:1 with water... which makes it a bargain... ;)
It's the AIO, so is an ideal base for your wax, and will remove any oils from the polishing stage.
Great product, but apply using a damp MF pad, and apply a THIN layer, else it can be a pig to remove.
Same product as Klasse AIO and Jeffs Prime...
There's Motorgeek too, and Elite will be stocking them soon, but I get all of mine from Gareth as he's a legend :)
Try the shampoo too if you haven't already
The Finish Kare 1000P Paste Sealant will outlast the Poorboys.
You should also look at Optimum Opti Seal, which is a wipe on product (no need to buff), which again will outlast the Poorboys.
Between the Poorboys and CG, the Poorboys is a bit nicer, and easier to remove.
Mine looks suspiciously like that
I had the same issue with the lights... however, it's easily fixed:

It certainly wouldn't destroy a 182, there is nothing between my mates and my R27, even with his KW's, I'd say the Clio still holds more speed into a corner.
That said, this is how the ST should have been. I loved my ST, and would have loved one like this!
Megs Ultimate Compound is going to be your best bet, on a firm 'german applicator', but even then you will struggle, especially on BG.
I'll sort it out for a few beer (wax) tokens... I'm only down the M6 :)
I did Pedro's bonnet a few weeks ago, and the flake pop from BG is amazing!
