below is a small list of what i use on my car in order (hopefully), my car is star silver so i cant get the depth of shine you lads get - still fun though:

1. Karcher K2.54MR + pw, to get the loose crap off.

2. Simoniz bug and tar remover on the lower half and rinse.

3. Farecla alloy wheel cleaner.

4. Shampoo - generic stuff, you know the one thats always 100% free, did well in auto express though (have to use 2 caps becuase the water is so hard).

5. wipe down, or cheat and go for a drive, or cheat even more and get the portuguese round the corner to clean it for £6...

6. meguiars clay bar kit (bought yesterday, never used it before).

7. meguiars stage 1

8. meguiars stage 2

9. meguires stage 3

10. generic trim cleaner, or really bad - back to black.

please help, strange mix of stuff used as you can see, I know there must be better. just add to each section or write a new list if u can be a*sed.....lol
