Every 3 years or so I purchase a 5 litre bottle of car wash/wax.

Today I have finished my most recent one, which is (was) Turtle Zip Wax.

All I know is this product is inferior to whatever I used last time.
Problem is....I can't remember what I used last time because it was 3 or 4
years ago!

So before I go shopping does anybody have an opinion on what is the best all
in one car wash/wax product? Simoniz, Car Plan? Halfords own brand?
Something else?

like they were saying:

Blimey, talk about a big question...

Autoglym without doubt. Not that I've tried many brands. Stopped searching
after I found the aforementioned product. Shampoo is very effective.

"Collinite 476" was mentioned recently in uk.rec.cars.maintenance - by
the sounds of it, it's good enough to only need doing once a year (!)

If I ever get a new car, it's what i'm going for :-}

What's the car washing thing? Doesn't it rain where you are? In the winter
I occasionally scrap the mud/salt off the lights and number plates but
that's all.

Having said that it does get a wash and vac every 12,000 miles when it is
serviced by the dealers. But TBH I rather have a twenty quid off the
bill...

Autoglym is a well established & trusted brand used by many professional car
valeters. Never used their shampoo, but everything else I have used has
been great.

Hi,

I used to own a series 1 rs turbo which I used to show in the concours
class. The best polish I came across was meguairs. It works brilliant one
black paint as most don't. Also it makes the shine appear a lot deeper.

Something else.

Wax in the washing water gets on the windscreen etc and is a pain. Better
to keep the two jobs separate. A decent 'wax' done after washing will last
much longer too.
