Im to pick out some cleaning stuff, available from local motorfactors/halfrauds to the value of £70, to be supplied by the dealership im buying my car from (as they moved their hand slightly on something else I was to get). I thought maybe some good polish & wax possibly. What should I get.

Polish
Wax
Wash mitt
microfibre cloths

Can I get that lot for 70 bucks? Cleaning buftys input is needed.

Does it matter on the colour of the car whats best for the job?

Needs to be from halfrauds or the likes. I dont think a skoda dealership will have a clue what detailing world etc is!!

Ive got shampoo & a clay bar. Just after wax & polish really for a light blue car!!

Good Call.

Off the shelf you won't beat AutoGlym SRP, never seen a decent Wax in Halfords though.

Halfrauds polishers look crap, as mentioned in the only customer review it broke after one use

I asked for the cash but he said as the sales already been done he cant do that now.

He did mention I can have anything to the value of £70, it was me who mentioned cleaning stuffs

Might just ask for beer & porn

I couldnt be bothered with the hassle

I could actually do with polish, wax, tyre shine, wash mitt, microfibre cloths so will prob just get that lot.

Halfrauds doing 2 for the price of 3 just now aswell

If I had to buy it from somewhere as bad as Halfords, it'd be:

Applicator Pads

Microfibres

Shampoo

Clay

Polish

Sealant

Tyre Gel

And maybe some Rain X and Autosol or something
