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.

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 :evil:
