I thought the new fad was for guys to use more and more products on their personal grooming - I have at least 2 times as many products for my car than for myself...

Lets see...

For me...

Hair gel - one kind

Shower gel - one kind

Shampoo

Toothpaste (struggling now..)

For my car...

Turtle Wax wett apply shampoo

Turtle Wax wett apply wax

microfibre cloths x 3

wash mitt

wax mitt

alloy brush

Turtle Wax wheel clean

Turtle Wax tyre shine

Back to Black

Flash car shampoo system

Meg

Baby shampoo

Turtle Wax Zip Wax Super Concentrate Wash & Wax

Megs NXT

Poorboys Super Slick & Suds

Megs Hot Rims

Megs water magnet

Anyone else the same?

Also, another question - whilst cleaning my car it squeeks. Like an electrical whine at regular intervals. Anyone know what this maybe?

You are a mere amateur when it comes to car care products..

believe me:rofl:

As for your car squeaking....

It's purring fella:rofl:

I have never heard my car paint squeak at me but I gave it a proper job clean and was worried I had a mouse under the paintwork

I agree about the excessive amount of car products, I have about 5 x more stuff for my can than I do me!

That reminds me - I must find some friends......

So they can help me detail my car!

My god, can anyone tell us how much this costs per year ? Seems like a compulsive disorder, is there a car washers anonymous ?

Yes, you find them all on Detailing World - A world for detailers by detailers.

Really cant be arsed to check all the prices, just curious.

I drive up and give a Ch@v £5 to wash my car, then drive off.

I've just managed to clean of a huge bird poop from my rear wing, problem is I used the scouring sponge (ones you use for washing up) used the sponge side, wasn't working and then rough side (lightly) started removing it (and also the glare/shine from the paint! it's dark so only street light glare, not seen it in the day yet!) It's a recently painted panel, so wondering if that's why it's had such an effect. Have used scouring sponges before but this has never happened. I already feel a champion nob having found better ways to do this and should have known better!

Is there any polish type of stuff or wax that would help remedy it do you think?

Eek!

What you have also done is revive a two and half year old thread as well.:confused::confused:

Try starting a new one, as I'm locking this one
