Mon, 01 July 2002 06:17 I didn’t go to the trouble of typing this out a second time but I will pass it onto you guys. Its just so happens my sister just bought a new car and she asked me the same question three weeks ago. I’ve been washing and looking after my cars for what seems like years. I’ve tried every thing you can think of so heres a list of my favourite products used on the Celica. Like most people you tend to find the products you like the best and stick with them forever. AION PLAS SYNTHETIC CHAMOIS'S (I really can’t stand leather chamois) MEGUIARS SOFT GEL WASH (Pink in colour and smells like bubble gum) KENCO JUMBO SPONGES (maybe buy two, they are cheap, any brand will do but this is what I have in the shed now) KITTEN TYRE REJUVENATOR 300g (This is cheaper than the Meguiars tyre shine and does the trick. My brother tells me the new Meguiars one is the ducks guts and worth the money) ARMOURALL (500ml is usually best value for money unless you can pour 4 bottles into a 2 litre milk carton and trick the bastards, little trick from the old days) TWIN PACK OF MEGUIARS HAND APPLICATOR PADS (Must be keep dust and crap free, these don't last that long) MEGUIARS DEEP CRYSTAL WETLOOK #2 (check out their website because choosing the right Meguiars polish can be a real science depending on the paintjob. I have several different types but some are just too expensive to mention) MEGUIARS CARBANNA WAX (this stuff is great shit, if only you could put it on your toast for breakfast) KITTEN NON ACID WHEEL CLEANER (totally optional, in fact I just use soapy water and an old sponge with my alloy wheels) REAL BABY NAPPIES (Yes the trade secret is out, these bloody things are not cheap but if total perfection is your bag you’ll need some. Head to the kid section for these suckers) TWIN PACK OF HOME BRAND PAPER TOWEL. (Used for cleaning the windows, my brother steals the ones from McDonalds, he thinks they are the best for the job and there are free, probably true) WINDOW CLEANER (I use Amway which a neighbour gave me for free. I’ve tried heaps of shit and some are just plain disastrous. I may try the Meguiars version when the Amyway shit runs out. I don’t have tinted windows) BRAND NEW BUCKET (keep this bad boy away from the dog as contamination will kill a show quality paint job) Buying cleaning gear products is the easy part. There are not cheap but worth the money in the long run. The secret is the application and user technique. Products are designed for the type of paint you have so make sure you get it right and do your homework. To wash and polish my Celica, it can take all bloody day, which really pisses off the wife. It’s a fine art and I don’t plan on sharing my trade secrets. When the lucky few get to see the car later this year in Brissy you see what I mean. I’m sure you’ll be all printing this puppy off and heading to your local K-mart to stock up on the above. Cheers guys and girls Justin ps yes another dull day in the office with nothing to do.
