noob question

[nobblebonce]

i like a clean car, but i cant be fucked with standing there for 6 hours washing it, normally takes a couple of hours and im happy with that.

now i need some new products and have been looking at AG

Can people recommend some products from the auto glym range for washing, polishing, conditioner, wheels, tyres, and interior (inclu leather) and plastics some as splitters etc


thanks in advance

I imagine investing in a pressure washer would speed things up. Check the detailing section?

A hose is fine for cleaning. In fact for removing shampoo an open hose is better as you help sheet water off the car meaning less drying need (on a protected car anyway)

If you want to use the autoglym stuff go for

AG Shampoo
Super Resin Polish
Extra Gloss protection or Autoglym HD wax
Autoglym custom wheel cleaner
Autogylm tyre dressing
Autoglym Interior shampoo and or dressing.

All can be got from Halfords.

You can pick up lots of applicators etc as well. They wont be the best from Halfords but "they will do". 3 for 2 at halfords too.

Really basic but good list, which will give a good clean you can futher and get more products.

Also a Claylube if you decide to use it and of course a wash mitt, mircofibres and applicator pads.

Would this wheel cleaner be any good on 'Really' bad wheels? My alloys have lots of well & truely baked on Brake dust, do you think the Bilberry cleaner would touch it? i've been seeing the name mentioned a bit.

Meguirars Wheel Brightener. Do a search for wheel cleaners on here, there are a few examples with a few reviews.

No, shut your mouth JD.

Use Espuma Revolution.
