I use, Auto Glym Shampoo & Body Conditioner, with Poor Boys Natty's Paste Wax and Poor Boys Black hole polish.

The Poor Boys is top quality, I'd recommend it to anyone that has not yet used it, you won't go back.

Currently using NXT car wash, not waxing at present, meguiars endurance tyre gel which is running out to be honest never been impressed with this tyre dressing as it seems to come off quickly, may give car plan tyre slik a go and only £3 a tin. Looking at a meguiars G220 and new wax sthis spring, using meguiars water magnet, Tesco own brand glass cleaner as well

Just bought some Auto glym shampoo and body conditioner yesterday, never used it before so looking forward to trying it, the poor boys products sound good so cheers for the recommendation, I have the Turtle wax clay bar kit which lifts all of the dirt I miss when shampooing but is very tedious to do, then Autoglym super resin polish and Simonz wax, I use the Autoglym wheel cleaner on the alloys which give pretty good results, anybody have recommendations for the dash/interior?

I use various different products for each process on my MK4 but my favourites are -

Snow Foam - Super Snow Foam (Cleanyourcar.co.uk)
Shampoo - Chemical Guys Citrus Wash, Dodo Juice BTBM, Wolfs Nano Shampoo
Tar Remover - Tardis
Exterior Cleaner - G101 with detailing brush
Wheel Cleaner - Bilberry with EZ detailing brush
Medium or fine clay bar
Glaze - Poorboys Black Hole, Chemical Guys EZ Glaze
Wax - Dodo Juice Supernatural v2, Wolfs Body Wrap, Collinite 845, Supernatural Hybrid Sealant
Tyres - Meguiars Endurance Gel

Got a list as long as my arm but there are a few of my favourites. I'm obsessed with making sure my R looks pristine so I make sure I've got the tools to do that!!!

Mines usually always changing!

Poorboys : black hole glaze and quick detailer
Megs : tyre gel, apc, dash protector
AG : plastic dressing, glass cleaner, bug spray
Wolfs : de-ironiser
Bilt hamber clay
AMDetails : wheel cleaner, glaze, snow foam, sealant, high temp wax

Got some wheel woolies, wash mitts etc and a big pack of microfibres from costco

Iv seen good results on the dash with using meguiars all purpose cleaner. I either use auto glym vinyl and rubber on a cloth for the dash or the meg's stuff that comes in a small black bottle.

Theres a local detailer to me that has developed his own products which are proving to be popular over the past 6months - 1 year. Also got a few stockists and other detailers and valeters using his products. Worth checking out his website, www.amdetails.co.uk
Also ask him any questions you have, get in touch through facebook or twitter and he can help you out with anything
