Howdy,

As I have this Friday off I thought I would treat my car to a good old clean! I want to do a good job but I dont want to spend more than £50 on all the various chemicals and equipment you can buy!

I currently have:

A hose pipe
2 buckets ;)

Basically I would just like some advise on what products I should get this week (prefrably all from Halfords) to get my car sparkling. The paint is hibiscus red colour if that makes much of a difference. One thing I would like is somthing to clean the alloys as they are filthy and some sort of wax to protect the paint and make it shine.

But I cant spend more than £50 on bits as I'm rather skint right now :(

Any suggestions? :D!
 
errr well you should be able to get the basics for £50

id suggest:

a lambswool mitt
a good shampoo, megs gold class maybe
autoglym super resin polish
and collinite 476 as a wax.

that is pretty much the basics covered and should roll in at just under your budget
 
1, Clay bar! Makes one hell of a difference.
2, Good shampoo
3, Autoglym SRP
4 Autoglym EGP
5, Plush Microfibre
6, Micro Drying towel

That will probably slighty over budget. Or get a mini detail..
 
Cheers guys!

I wanted to do it myself as hopefully I will get more than one use out of each thing and in the future I'll have more cash to spend on better gear :)
 
Just done my D3.

Advise Halfords for buying all yer Megs gear and buy things 3 at a time max. Buy 2 get one free.

Don't buy Megs terry towels etc get the Halfords ones. Though the Megs towel for drying is superb!

Ideally:
- Megs Shampoo
- Megs Clay Bar
- Megs Paint Scrub
- Megs Polish
- Megs Carnuba Wax

Then some decent wheel cleaner and Megs tyre shine :)

Takes a while but looks superb! Prob £60 for all that from Halfords...
