Grant Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Cheers Nick, will have a browse back through. I do have half a bar of dodo clay left which, weather permitting, I will get on with this week. Although the way the weather is today I might be waiting a while as the last time I washed, clayed, polished and waxed I think novels out there for 6 hours!! May have a look at the Meg stuff, I have heard good things about them in the past. Thing is right now, I need to pick up a bottle today/tomorrow and I don't think there is anywhere near me that sells dodo products over the counter, so may well try that next time. Opie oils sell their products so when I order oil n filter, I'll get some of their shampoo too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Yeah, weather is shocking at the moment, can't get near mine to clean it, the only day in the last couple of weeks that was any good was xmas day and I got a bollocking for thinking about it. The Megs stuff is good and the ultimate wash and wax seems to last for ages too, good value and available at halfrauds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha cleaning the car on Xmas day, that would've gone down like a sack of sh*t my side too lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 im currently using Dodojuice Wookiefist, so i'd go for something that is wool based to wash the car with. as for shampoo i use Dodojuice born to be mild. autoglym stuff is good and you can't go wrong with it. but get some acid free wheel cleaner. i've got some Bilberry wheel cleaner which is acid free and you dilute it so it can last for ages!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long have you had your Wookiefist for? Would you recommend it? I'm in dire need of a new wash mitt but can't fine one that lasts for any length of time. After a few months my wool mitts usually disintegrate from cleaning in the washing machine, or the inside lining drys up and falls apart. My old Meguiars one has lasted for years and still going strong but now relegated to washing the girlfriends car rather than mine lol Anyone else recommend a good well-made wash mitt?

feck_on_a_stick Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 If anyone is looking a wash mitt, this seller is selling 5 for £10 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-x-Professional-Detailing-Valeters-Car-Wash-Mitt-Trade-Quality-Synthetic-Wool-/370931081149?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Car_Care_Cleaning&hash=item565d371fbd They're synthetic wool but they look very similar to the Meguiars wash mitt and at £10 for 5 I'll still hopefully get some longevity out of them lol I've bought from this seller in the past and pretty decent service and prices too.
