using wolfs bodywrap (which can last over a year), id get the wolfs shampoo to help maintain it. wash and wax type shampoos won't help it as its a nano type sealant, so its a bit 'fussy'. if you plan on removing it to use a different product for the summer, it'll need machine polishing off..

I thought that may be the case as i have been using megs wash and wax to wash so i may have to change during the summer!! Every 4-6 months or if i am ever changing my wax or sealant i remover the previous product even more so with the body wrap

new microfibre - I bought loads from asda when they were on offer (kent ones) but also bought some from makro which are nice and big and fairly plush, both cost roughly £2 for 6
wheel sealant - I use Finish Kare FK1000p which is a synthetic sealant, it lasts ages and costs about £17 for a massive tub on CYC
washing mit - Noodle mit from ASDA (Kent brand) for £1
APC - Daisy APC from tesco which is about £1.20 a litre, dilute 4:1 and it is awesome!
drying towels max £5 each - Any of the big cleaning sites sell a generic big blue fluffy drying towel at about £5-7
backing plate for my DA - I4detailing do them for about £10 and do the spot pads to go along with them!
glass cleaner - Auto Glym Fast Glass cleaner for general cleaning or if they are really bad then Auto Glym Glass Polish (followed by fast glass). Both can be bought from halfords for under £10
