    Washing Your Punto

    With the new paint job keeping the car clean is a must now as it shows off the dirt really easily.

    I decided to go and get some Meguiars products and just wanted to know if i have got the best or even the right stuff?

    Shampoo


    Wheel Cleanser


    Tyre Dress


    Wax Applicators


    Fnishing Cloth


    Wax


    Is that everything covered to get the paint looking like Salty's GT?

    Ive made the classic mistake of thinking the most expensive would be the best then

    Although they didnt stock Gold Class wax.

    turtle wax is wank for the tyres, the best stuff i have ever found is halfords wet look tyre dressing. It lasts for ages and really does look the bollox!

    I use the gold class polish, love it as it doesnt leave a layer of dust. I use autoglym window polish as i have found nothing that leaves a shine like it! Best car shampoo I have found too is halfords own make! Really leaves a good shine and nice and bubbly.

    All i seem to do is clean any car I have all the time, so i have become pretty damn good at it!

    I use the Gold Class Shampoo and can't fault it!

    I also use the Next Gen Tech Wax Paste rather than the spray and I've not had any problems with it. Goes on and comes off really easily!

    I have however been given Gold Class Wax and the Tech Wax Spray wax as xmas presents but still to get the chance to try either of them out!
