CAR CLEANING - WHAT DO YOU USE?

EURO · Post by **EURO** » Fri May 21, 2004 6:29 pm

Hi guys,

I think we have touched on this before, but just thought it might be a good post to see what products people use to clean their car?
This could cover everything from washes, to polish, cutters, wheel cleaners, interior, engine bay etc... what has worked for you and what hasnt?

I know I have found turtle wax cut n shine brilliant for removing scratches, small blemishes and in particular removing that "greying/faded" look that you can get in white cars.....

Any one else had a great product they use or discovered.

I just bring it to local "Hand Car Wash" $45 with hand polish, save time & no fuss.

All Meguires stuff is good,but mostly i use meguires final inspection to wash the car as it never really gets that dirty.

yeah me too, there was a story on ACA sometime last year about dodgy car wash operators who steal stuff from inside your car, from loose change/cash to CDs and even in-car fragrances....!! how pathetic is that :shock:

but then again that's another unrelated story so mehhh...

I've been using them for 4yrs & i knew the owner, so that might help, plus they have clients that drive Ferrari, Porches, & Lambo.

It kinda a secure thingy for me ahahahahaa

When I was driving my Lancer I took it to one at a shopping centre carpark, won't say which one *cough* EASTLAND! *cough*.
When I returned my car was parked far away from the office... turns out they had broken the after market gear knob off and hidden it in the glove box
