Car cleaning products

What's the best products you've found for cleaning your pride and joy. Any recommendations and little secrets for Glass, Tyres etc??

I usually use Autoglym, I was gonna try that Meguires stuff……any good??

Turte Was colour restore(Dark Blue works lovely on Helios Blue), Turtle Wax car shampoo. Turtle Wax Foaming tyre shine and Turtle Wax Hood Care Kit.

As you can see I like Turtle Wax, Not too expensive and the shine lasts for ages (Daily Driver)

Interior glass I use Asda window cleaner works a treat.

Well it's true what they say about keeping a black car clean….nightmare. 1st Black car I've had and if it wasn't for the fact I'd look like a anorak, I'd be out there cleaning it every other day.

black is a nightmare if you drive it around this time of year. I agree with Robb on the window cleaner I find that most household window stuff is quite good and works as well as the auto glym one only a fraction of the cost.
I normally use auto glym gloss protection polish then if feeling in the mood or for a show i'll go over that with the liquid extra gloss stuff which is really good. For the bumpers  I use back to black spray, I've tried Meguires on my tyres in the form of the rub on one and found it pretty poor to be honest as it was messy to use and went all streaky but i've herd good things about the polish.

Oh and by the way the best purchase i've ever made was a pressure washer, cant beat it for cleaning all around the arches and under the car and good for getting in the wheels too

I use Autogylm stuff except for alloy wheels, which I use Turtle Wax extreme wheel cleaner (it tends to be stronger than the others I've tried); For seats, etc, Turtle Wax interior shampoo (the one with the brush thing on top - if you need another, simply buy the regular can and swap the tops over); and for polishing, T-Cut Color restore stuff in the appropriate colour. I tried the Turtle Wax equivalent here but it was rubbish!

Oh and Turtle Wax Minute Clean for dashboard, door cards, etc.

Halfords wash and wax
AutoGlym shammy leather to dry

AutoGlym super resin polish

AutoGlym car glass polish or Asda's own for a quick do

What do you use on the interior fabric? I always find that a tricky one to clean. No point asking Walt, his never gets stains in there….

mcguires cleaner wax  is top stuff Ive been using it on my metalic black mk3 for about a year and Ive started usin it on my new baby(metalic bronze mk1 gti) there shampoo doesn't strip off previous coats of wax like some do so you can build up a good deep gloss. There Gold class polish is also superb although it does take some buffing up. don't know about there other stuff I still use autoglym for everythin else

I use various stuff, but for the dash, there is nothing better than autoglym silicone spray..  its an aerosol, and makes any dash I've had look brand new

Have a look at this site, very good prices, have used him a few times, guides are great. Postage is only ?2.50.

I find rain is the best ( and only ) thing that gets my mk1 clean !

Meguiars Gold Class wax is superb, if a bit expensive. I used it on my Mars Red GTi and it made such a difference.

AutoGlym trim cleaning stuff (can't quite remember the name) is also great for any exterior black trim IMO.
