Had a friend advise me on products to get to protect and perfect the looks of my new GTI.
Car is Tornado Red with 18" Monza's.
Valet Pro Bilberry wheel cleaner
FinishKare 1000P Hi-Temp Sealant
Autoglym - Instant Tyre Dressing (He said that this is great for the exterior plastics too)
Autoglym - Super Resin Polish
Anyone else use these and what do you think?

AG super resin polish is what i use...i like it.

I assume it's an either or with the Super Resin and FinishKare 1000P Hi-Temp Sealant? Heard nothing but amazing reviews about the FinishKare 1000P and watched some YouTube vids which backs this up. I think it has the added benefit of UV protection which the AG doesn't. Hate faded paint, especially on red cars :-)

Personally I wouldn'y use the AG Tyre Dressing as its water based so will not last long on tyres.

A very good cleaner. Not very strong but means it's not very harsh so very good for regular use and can be diluted to 1:4 to 1:10 and still be effective.

Used this last winter. Very easy to use. If you apply a second coat, wait at least 48 hours before doing so to allow the first coat to fully cure. The effect on my car was like it was wrapped in cling film - very bling bling shiny. Didn't feel it was particularly "warm" but I guess that's subjective. Can also be used on the brake calipers and on the alloys as a wheel sealant.

Don't really rate this. I prefer Megs Endurance Tyre Gel and use AG Bumper Care for plastics - see how you fare with AG's version. Again, you may like it.

Proven (on DW) to be one of the best for use by hand. Will be tough work though but very worthwhile.
