Hi all, Ive been a CS member for a few months now but not posted any pics yet, probably because my car is always filthy. So today i went a little bit further than showing it a soapy sponge and then driving it round the block to dry it off! First off this mornin was a trip to halfords in...

When claying the car is it OK to use a carnauba wax shampoo (valet pro poisedon) between the wash/clay/wash stage? I'm a first timer to polishing, I got my kestrel DAS6 this week. I've read the guide on detailing world. So I basically start with the lowest cut pad/polish and move up a stage...

As the title reads really, looking for something to keep my detailing stuff in, at the moment got it in a variety of boxes, but its not the best for transporting.... Did look at the Megs detailing bag, but they seem very small. Any suggestions on what I could use/ what your using currently...
