Being fairley new to the detailing scene I was wondering what has every one got in car cleaning collection.

Heres a wee list of my collection

Chemical Guys Glossworkz Paintwork Cleanser
Chemical Guys Synthetic Quick Detailer Spray
Chemical Guys Scratch and Swirl B Gone
Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 Sealant
Chemical Guys 50/50 Wax
Eco Tech 2 Degreaser
Autoglym Fast Glass Cleaner
Autoglym Car Glass Polish
Rain X Glass Sealant
Meguiars Gold Class Endurance Tire Gel
Dodo Juice Super Natural Clay Bars
Autosol Metal Polish
Super Car Drying Microfiber Towel
A sack full of Microfiber Polishing Cloths and Microfiber Applicators

I think thats it all although I've no doubt missed a few bits

1x bucket
2x sponges
what ever is left of the mrs fairy liquid
an half a bottle of t-cut
spray leather cleaner used once last august
1x old t-shirt cut up into pieces
1x glass cleaner


u put me to shame derek but i hate buftying

An old blue bucket, jumbo sponge some 'car plan' car shampoo & a bit of £ land wheel cleaner i think!!!

Oh nearly forgot the asda smartprice car polish!!!

Sponges ? Its wash mitts these days lads, sponges hold to much hidden grit in them that result in swirls. Your shampoo shud be like hair shampoo and be PH balanced lol, makes the wax last longer because it does not strip it off while washing it.

I was going to sit and type out the contents of my collection, but figured this would be easier:



PS I swear by Tesco Daisy APC for interior plastics scuffs etc, best 99p ever spent

Indeed Derek! Been into it for about 3 years now - its amazing how long a selection of stuff lasts if you don't need to polish your car that often. I usually get away with detailing mine about once every 6 months.

One cap full of Daisy into a bucket of warm water will give you a great APC - works a treat on rubber mats, seals, plastics etc

1 sponge
1 bucket
cheap car shampoo
brick acid for the wheels



and that polish that i got from the raffle last year

only reason I swear by Auto Glym , no dust or swirls , though I am open to try the Chem guys stuff

"Chemical Guys" stuff is the business Goafer.
I'm not into heavy duty cleaning/buftying, but what ive got brings the motor up a treat IMO.

in my kit I have-

meguiars gold class car wash
meguiars #83 polish
meguiars gold class liquid wax
auto glym fast glass
auto glym bumper care
autoglym aqua wax
autoglym metal polish
poorboys black hole show glaze
autosmart g101
autosmart smart wheels
autosmart brisk
dodo juice supernatural clay bar
dodo juice born slippy clay lube
tableau leather food

heres the stuff i have in my collection ( best to take a pic ) , some stuff is still boxed up , but this is the stuff i have on my shelfs at the mo , and am a sucker for trying out the cheaper products on the missus car , cos sometimes you get a decent product for pennys of the price ,



defo needing a clay bar kit tho .. can find my stone guards either so need to buy 2 new ones my wee bro probably tooj them when he borrowed my buckets ( but ive not seen them in ages now !!! )

For the 2010 season my cleaning kit is made up of both chemical guys gear and some of the old autoglym favorites!!!
Have to say that of the chemical guys gear i have tried i havnt been disapointed by any of them.

Specially the 50/50 wax, amazing!!!
