After a longer than expected wait I should collect my C63S on Saturday.
Having subjected my current car to the horrors of my local Romanian hand car washing service (with predictable swirly results), I think I should start as I mean to go on and always clean the new car myself.
This seems like a good time to chuck out my 10 year old microfibre cleaning glove, Swiss cheese-like chamois, rationalise the collection of half full bottles of cleaning products currently littering my garage, and start again.
Can anyone suggest a basic starting list of kit/products to buy? Ideally all from the same place, rather than a shampoo from online retailer X and a wax from a specific detailing supply shop somewhere in the back of beyond?
So far my list is
2x buckets
Microfibre glove
Microfibre cloths
Bug/tar removing product
Shampoo
Wax/protector of some variety
Wheel cleaning product
Wheel sealing product
Exhaust tail pipe cleaning product
Something for keeping the leather + other interior clean
Not sure if this is a reasonable list or if I missed something?
Ideally all should be a good combination of easy to use and good results, I unfortunately don't yet have the enthusiasm to spend 2 hrs applying the world's best wax, for example!
Also can I buy all this stuff from Halfords, or would that be the act of a lunatic?
Thanks!
