Im picking my new car up soon and i wanna keep it clean and tidy from the day i pick it up so im gonna treat myself and buy a load of cleaning stuff like shampoo, polish, wax, mitt etc. which is the best stuff to go for?

was looking at either Auto Glym, Sonus or Meguiars. there roughly the same price so which is the best compay to go for?

Products vary so much. Some company's make only polishes, wax's etc.

If you've not got a pc, stick to something like AG superresin as a polish
For a seal - see the Jeff's range or CG's
For a wax - dependin on colour and takin into consideration the time of yr mite be worth buyin a hard wax and then a spray wax for toppin up each time you wash.

Wheels - Poorboys wheel seal
Tyres- In this weather, no point.

Its Meguiars for me everytime.. and its a similar name to my favourite drink... Magners!! lol.. Ive asked santa for a load of the stuff for christmas! lol... although unfortunetly there wont be much point using any of it until the weather gets better in the new year..

Depends what you are after, but most people use products from a variety of companies as there are so many types of products available, no one company absolutely dominates, although if you went into Halfords you might think Turtle Wax, Autoglym and Meguiars are the only makes available. For off the shelf products they are all pretty good (yes even the Turtle ones - just not not to some people on heres high standards ) I still use Autoglym Super Resin Polish, Extreme Gloss Protection, Glass Polish and cleaner, Engine & Machine Cleaner and Plastic and Vinyl...but tend to go for different companies for other things like waxes, shampoos, tyre dressings etc as there are better out there.

Mix and match - limiting yourself to one product range will never get you the best results on every area of the car IMO.

Look outside the 3 you mention as well.

See what works well for yourself and as rich says keep an open mind on what you buy

Never had a problems creating lots of suds and foam with Meguiars Shampoo Plus or Hyper Wash, Sonax Gloss Shampoo or Duragloss Wash so they are worth a look into.

Others such as Swissvax Car Bath or Einzett Perls are not as soapy.

You are better off with a proper metal polish for the exhaust.
