Hi folks as some of you have probably noticed I'm all very new to this seat thing. my ibza is released on the 2nd of June :D.

In preperation of this there are a few things I'm obviously going to want/need and your the folks who know (or so i assume :O).

My shopping list so far is:

A pressure washer - brand and model specific (recommendations), would love one of those snow foam add-ons too - how practical are these things compared to a bucket and sponge.

What kind of wax would u reccomend? - I have autoglym atm but theres not much left in there. (Do i need to consider wax atm as the car is going to be diamondbrited)

A new drying rag a leatehr or MF cloth brands recommendations.

Alloy cleaner for general cleaning removing break dust etc etc.

Bug remover/traffic film etc.

Alloy wheel brush? Should I bother are they worht it.

Trim/tyre finish?

Oh and interior cleaning. again the diomandbrite scotch guarding should deal with most but its always handy to have backup...


Erm i gues sthats all I can think I'll need for the moment.

Thanks for reading and I know I'm asking alot here so all advice is very welcome....

PS - where do you chap/esses buy from...

lol quite a few questions there matey, so here goes

Pressure Washer - Karcher, good one on sale from Argos at the mo for about £60, the guys on here have recommended it recently

Wax, I would recommend Carnauba Wax, from www.volksdevil.co.uk, good price and brings out excellent results

Leather - again go to volksdevil, i recommend the meguiars one, works well for me

Alloy cleaner, again meguiars foaming one, just spray on, leave for a few minutes and then wipe off, and its not damaging to the wheel, halfords again or volksdevil

bug remover, again meguiars, best stuff i have used so far, but the autoglym spray one is also very good

trim/tyre finish, there is a wet rubber look spray from meguiars, gives that new wheel look, would highly recommend that

interior cleaning......not sure, as i have a full leather interior so use meguiars leather conditioner

I think thats it from me buddy, thats at least £150 worth of stuff:D
