    DO NOT use amour all on any of your cars unless you are selling.
    Amour all is BAD, BAD,BAD.
    It will dry out your rubbers/plastics and eventually crack

    I use maguiars hot rim cleaner. Works quite well, still need to give the rims a quick rub down after you wash off the cleaner, but as far as I know, there are no 'no touch' whee cleaners.

    One thing that I also find time for is to wipe with a cloth around and under every door when open.

    So what product do you suggest?
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    yeah mate $300 would set you up nicely. Could do lots of home detailing for that price

    I'm going to assume that people have the basic car washing stuff so will skip that.

    DA polisher $109 http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/onl...ecommendations
    A few pads for the polisher $30
    Clay Bar kit $54.99 http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/onl...ecommendations
    Meguiars ultimate compound $34.99 http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/onl...ecommendations
    Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax $75.99 http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/onl...ecommendations


    Total 304.99

    And honestly if you bought this stuff on sale you would get it for probably near $200. You'd be crazy to pay full price as they are always having sales on it

    Using the clay bar, polisher and wax you'd be surprised at how good you could get any car to look

    I use 303 aerospace protectant but even something like the meguiars natural shine protectant should be better than armour all

    Looking at Meguiar's products today and they all say 'hand use only'.
    Do they all say that to cover their asses??
    Or was I looking at the wrong stuff??
    But yea.. got basic stuff and the gurnie.
    I usually use the wash and wax in the spray bottle but am open to options here..
