Best cleaning products??

[potter88]

Ok picking my new car up next week (silver LCR) and after not having a decent motor for last couple of years not bothered about detailing but now I've got a decent car coming just wanted to know best cleaning products out there today for general cleaning

I've got a few bits and pieces still like Poorboys wheel sealant and Poorboys ex-p sealant but not much else so need the following realistically:

Shampoo
Polish
Tyre dressing
Interior trim dressing
Wheel cleaner
Snow foam
Clay bar
Tar remover
Wax

If anybody can recommend the best for the products above would be greatly appreciated

Very subjective I use a lot of Autoglym products and a fee others

polish - Autoglym SRP/Poorboys Black Hole
Wax - Autoglym HD Wax
tyre dressing - Meguires endurance gel
interior dressing - Autoglym vinyl & rubber care
Tar remover - Iron X
Clay Bar - Meguires clay bar & Autoglym Speed Detailer for clay lube

its also worth having:

Meguires glass cleaner
Autoglym deodorising spray - spray on the carpets and leaves a 'new car fresh' scent

I have Poorboys black hole but that's for more dark coloured cars and I've just bought a silver cupra

Meguires endurance gel is good as had that before

Poorboys do a version for light colours too....whitelightning or something like that

Iron X wont shift tar, you want a tar remover such as Tardis.

thanks for spotting my error I was thinking about mentioning iron x & Tar remover at the same time

No worries!

I think they do a combined tar/fallout remover now actually.
