rofl! Bloody Dave! It took forever to get that off!

When I'm back at Maffra, Dad has this dairy grade detergent that is bloody awesome on cars. Not abrasive at all, it's even good at removing bugs, and every time I've washed the car there. it's turned out mint.

No doubt it washes off your wax and a layer of paint..... no wonder it looks like it does a good job...

The top of the line Zymol is about $10,000 per container.

I think Tristan told me once there's a place in Bayswater that sells it, starting from about $150?

Not quite. My parents always used it on their EBII which they bought new and traded last year. The paint still looked great on that car after 15 years of using this detergent on it. Didn't hurt my paint one bit either. I haven't actually washed my car at Maffra for a couple of years because I can't be stuffed. The paint damage on my car has only really started within the last year or so and unfortunately it needs a respray.

Meguiars Quick Detailer and Claybar
Meguiars Carnauba Wax
Meguiars Dash and Trim cleaner (I tihnk its called)
Meguiars Rich Leather Foam.

[EFFalcon]

i occasionally use rain water.

[Sunboost]

When I got my BF I used Meguiars Clay bar, then T47 cutters by hand then Meguiars Carnauba Wax. It came out better than mint.

I got the BA done professionally though. Almost $300 for 9 hours of detailing... it was worth it

$300 for a full day seems like good value to me! Was it mates rates?

[Sunboost]

Nah it's what he charges normally - he only did the exterior. Same guy who did Eric Bana's XB

[SnyperEB]

$300 I would have expected the interior done aswell?

[Sunboost]

You don't get it. This guy is l33t as fukk.

If you want budget sht go see the FOBs who work from your local shopping centre carpark.

[Bipolar]

Yeah sounds about right. Old mate in my complex pays another $200 for the interior and bay for his imports. Look A+++

I use mostly Meguires stuff (wash, clay, wax, glass cleaner, wheel cleaner, tyre shine) but wanna try something better. Use Autoglym Super Resin Polish before waxing and Armour All disposable wipes for the interior.

[t1MMy]

I use Autoglym super resin or Meguires wet look polish.

[galapogos01]

http://waxit.com.au/ is a good site for buying decent imported waxes and hand pads etc.

I use Einszett polish and synthetic wax on mine, lasts months, can't recommend it enough. And whatever car wash i have lying about.

This site has some great stuff... many good products and the guy who runs it is a top bloke as well..

[Bomber]

On the topic of polish and protecting your car, does any of this stuff protect from tar??
I asked dad, he doesn't really know... but his cars don't seem to get tar spots all over them for some reason...

[Gozza]

Turtle wax ice wash. White Turtle wax color rejuvenating polish shit. and Turtle wax ..wax lol

i bought some meguires polish shine stuff and i thought it was shit

[ClassicAU]

i occasionally use rain water.

+1 for the 'natural' car wash! If I am feeling rich and energetic, its whatever is in the hose at my local Clean Bay, and a quick run up the freeway for that 'blow dry' finish. I used to use that pink Meguries stuff, but the govenrnment put a stop to that method.
