If you want your car to SHINE - Here's your shopping list!

Post by Josh_PoloGTi »

Here's your shopping list if you want a VERY shiny car:

Bucket (Josh recommends a Swissol Flat-Pack Bucket from John Wintle (sp?))

Wash Mit (Josh recommends the Meguires Lambswool Wash Mit)

Shampoo (Josh recommends Zymol Shampoo from Halfords)

Blade (Josh recommends Turtle Wax Blade from Halfords)

"Chamois" (Josh recommends a Meguires Microfibre Drying Towel)

Clay Bar (Josh recommends a 3M Perfect It III Cleaner Clay available from Josh!)

Compound (Josh recommends 3M Pefect It III Fine Compound available from Josh!)

Glaze (Josh recommends 3M Imperial Hand Glaze available from Josh!)

Wax (Josh recommends Zymol Titanium Wax available from www.zymol.co.uk)

Cloths (Josh recommends Autoglym Perfect Polishing Cloths for the Compound and Glaze - available from Halfords, and a Zymol Microfibre Cloth for buffing the Zymol Wax)

If you're serious about your paint, the above will make it beautiful. Trust me, I've been searching for the "best" stuff for years and have a shed full of reject stuff as a result. Do yourself a favour and make use of the above list!

:D

You can buy a Zymol branded shampoo in Halfords which is a greeny blue liquid in a clear bottle which is a brilliant shampoo but no-where near the price of the 'proper' Zymol product range which is literally £100's. I wonder if that's the one that Josh is referring to.....
