Hi Rory,

Try some of the lesser known brands, ones made in the UK by local guy's.

Have a look about as there's a good few small businesses in England that make good products.

Check out "Paul Dolden Details" on YouTube for some reviews.

The small business guy's will appreciate your business at this time bud.

Cheers,

Ross

Why limit yourself and stick with one brand?

I use Autosmart, Bilt Hamber, Soft 99, Gyeon, Car-chem, Detailed Online, and Autobrite Direct. There’s not one brand that does everything perfectly for the right price.

 

Yeah, mix and match and have some fun. Thats the best part about detailing, always loads of new products to try out.
I really recommend you watch Forensic Detailing channel for ideas.

 

Morning all, I started to get into detailing about 2 years ago and no I'm no pro I just do it to my cars and maybe some of the family's. Anyways the brand I have been using for the last 18 months or so it seems there products ain't as good as they used to be so I'm looking for something else. Can help tell me another good ones to go to before I just go back to the good old trusted meguiars

I'll echo everyone else dude, mix and match its the best you'll ever do! What kinda products you looking for?

Likewise, I have everything from Turtlewax to GTech. I think I even have simoniz stuff. I particularly like Autofinesse and CarPro at the moment. Just got some purple rain from Autobrite, look forward to trying it.

 

Half the fun of this hobby for me is the research. Jot down the products you want to complete a full detail shampoo, foam, apc, wax, qd etc etc and then read up on here and you tube what is considered the best. Take into account your circumstances do you detail in full sunlight or shade for example and make your choices based on that. Replace the meg products you are lowest on first perhaps and if funds allow don't buy bulk volumes so you can enjoy the whole process again sooner.

Well I have seen one company called sams detailing which seems a good product. I was going to buy a few bits from jays wax then saw that he takes along time to post and don’t reply to emails etc

Dont bother with Jays, he even ignores his instant messages also on Facejotter.

I had to go through paypal to get a refund.

 

You can find Sams Detailing on here in the manufacturers section.

The best part of this is the trial and error and testing what works best for you. My favourite three products are Tardis, Korrosol, auto foam and Car shampoo which are from three different brands Autosmart (Tardis), Bilt Hamber (Korrosol & Auto Foam) and Adams USA (Car Shampoo).

 

Lets hope your car cleaning skills are better than your counting.

 

Welcome, As echoed above, half the fun is having different bits for certain tasks from different manufacturers. I always told myself that I would let one run out before I tried another similar product. Well that went out the window years ago, so be careful.Control the urge and try not to buy every single new product that gets released.Otherwise you will end up like me ,with a garage full of products that you will never in your lifetime ever get through and a crying bank manager (wife) !!....but (silver lining), you will have a spotless car and a smile on your face.. Enjoy.

 

As others have said, mix it up a little just try and not get hooked into the hype. A product that can be the dogs ****** one week can be old news the next week i find.

 

Top up of some custom goodies from Simplewax, let Nadeem pick the colour [emoji23]

Meanwhile in Cheapville.....

Nowt wrong with some of the High Street stuff. TurtleWax had everyone moist around here in the recent past. Both the Hydrophobic Wax and the Dry and Shine.

Their Wax it Wet product is also very good. Plus they have their Cermaics coming on stream recently, so that will renew everyone's love for them

Halfords own brand stuff isn't bad, thinking about the Upholstery Cleaner and Wash and Wax for a quick mid week wash.

Simoniz Quickshine Detailer... that's on offer for under 3 quid sometime in Wilkinsons and is a very good drying aid or window cleaner (not windscreen)

You get the idea...

 

While we are on Cheapville cant go wrong with ag super resin
