Nice list of products there mate. My R has got a coat of 50/50 paste wax from 3 months ago and is still going strong.

Is it good aye? I've been looking for a 50/50 user to get a real-life opinion!

John-R · 20th October 2012, 22:33

For the money I think it's great! Very easy to apply and remove, and will last a good few months.

What would you guys recommend using on the car to get rid of any previous products that might be on it?

A Fairy liquid wash with a bit of apc mixed in with it. Quite safe to do this occasionally

Well lads, I've added to the collection.

Now got the Bilt Hamber clay bar, some 3M masking tape, a DA polisher with various pads and CG polishes.

I've got Iron-X and Deano's HD Snow Lance on order, just waiting for them to arrive and I can get cracking!

Is Tardis really essential? Dunno whether to get some or not.

Anything else I've missed out???

I know that feeling, I've spent a fortune now on products, now getting a DA.

Im still waiting to do my detail, was going to do it this week but the weather has been really bad or the other half has wanted other stuff doing. Fingers crossed for Monday
