Not sure bought the AG Shampoo Prefer Megs Stuff, Im currently using P21 Carnauba Wax in conjunction with the AG SRP and AG EGP and seems to be working ok - I have looked around for a better combination but have yet to find one...

Bought some poor boys wheel sealant which has now made cleaning my alloys a doddle, never tried the bilberry stuff, heard good things about it however.

TBH im not the guy to be commenting on this stuff but just giving you my opinion on things I've tried, two guys - "7MAT" and "JD" are your best bet - helped me alot Im sure it wont be long until one of them is here helping you out

Get a load of decent microfibres and drying towels to reduce the risk of swirls. You can never have to many!!
Also get a good Sealant along with a good pot of Wax to protect all your hard work.

You may also want to think about:
Wheel Sealant
Glass Polish
Trim Dressing
Tyre Shine/Dressing

etc etc. the list is never ending TBF! :S

Something like these are good: http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/microfibre-cloths/eurow-shag-pile-double-density-towels/prod_436.html
You can get them in packs of 3 or 10.

And get a couple of these drying towels: http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-and-drying/miracle-dryer-ultra-plush-25-x-36-/prod_362.html
Very good and ultra plush too.

CAn I just point out that the miracle dryer was purchased around 6 months ago and is now no better than a polishing towel. It has gone really thing after no more than 5 washes and no longer dries streak free!

Ordered three more I4D towels for dad and I to use on the Clio and the 8.

Pfft n00b, you should learn to wash your towels correctly. :rasp:
