I'd drop the Hot Shine tyre Dressing and go for the Meguiars Endurance Tyre Dressing Gel. It's a purple liquid and is in a bottle similar to washing up liquid, has about the same consistancy come to that too.

Something to dry your car with. I like the Megs water magnets a lot.
I wouldn't get both spray and tech wax just get the Tech wax and perhaps get a bottle of NXT speed detailer for touch ups.
Couple of buckets and of you go

Some Glass Cleaner and something for your Trim.

Some Glass Cleaner and something for your Trim.

Why would anybody want to use glass to clean anything with?? Surely that would be like using sandpaper. :rasp:

 

[BradRT]

Something to dry your car with.

isnt that what the microfibres are for?


bloody hell guys, i dont wanna go over the top like some of you! lol
i think £80 will do for now!

Agree with this, we've got both and the Gel is easier to apply, looks better AND lasts longer.

As for the overall package, I went for this...

Wash Mitt
Water Magnet
Terry Towel
Microfibre Cloth
3x pack of Foam Applicators

NXT Wash
NXT Wax
Megs Endurance Tyre Gel
AG Engine & Machine Cleaner
AG Super Resin Polish
AG Glass Polish

So far thats all lasted me over a year now, and I clean my car weekly if at all possible. Add to that a pack of paintbrushes and a Halfords Alloy Brush and you're sorted for ages!

MF's are for removing wax - polish etc. I find them really bad for drying your car, unless it's just a spray of Quick Detail etc...

 

[Rich]

I would'nt use a normal MF to dry a car must take ages?

Waffle Weave Microfiber Drying Towels made for the task work well though.
