Hot rims wheel cleaner (megs)
tyre shine (megs)
polish pads (megs)
microfiber towel (megs)

Nice one Matt.

I use the Vinyl and Rubber on my tryes.

I use Autoglym Engine and Machine Cleaner on dirty wheels.

The foam pads are a must, the Megs Microfibers IMO are over priced though.

 

[matt182]

So what do you use then i think everything in halfords is overpriced thats how they get there nick name it just convenient for everyone

 

[Rich]

I would get some Micropak ones from here Matt

Where can I buy a decent drying towel online? Looked in Halfords and a local car shop, couldn't find one. I've been using a leather to dry the car, though everyone seems to say use a proper drying towel. Any ideas?

Tescos do some microfibre cloths . Not the biggest around but sh*t hot at drying , polishing your car , £1.27 each Washed em at 40 degrees , no fabric softener and they are like new .

MrBillyUK !

 

[Josh27]

Nice one, thanks for the replies guys. I'm off on a shopping trip today, will see what I can find at Tescos!

 

[Josh27]

Popped into Tesco today, got a couple of their microfibre clothes. For £1.27 you can't go wrong, and it looks near identical to the Meguiars version...which was £11.99 in Halfords!

Thanks for the tip MrBilly.

 

[Rich]

Going to have to check these out next time i am in Tescos. Some one on Detailing World said Morrisons sell them cheaply as well.

Some Tescos sell em others don't . You need a Tescos that has car care range in , not just a couple of bottles of de icer .Usually they have em in Tescos extra , the big stores .

MrBillyUK !

My local one doesnt sound like it will then! - the 24 hour one in the town where I work may have then.

Cheers for the info

Rich

 

[Josh27]

Yea this was a Tesco Extra, couldn't believe how big their car care range is, they have everything!
I've also just been told (by my mum lol!) that Aldi's also have them, 99p.

my local asda selling microfibre towels at 87p not the biggest but do a good job.
