Personally I'm a big fan of poor boys and auto finnesse, started with megs but began to move away from it

Buying in bulk is a good idea, espically wheel cleaner which you then dilute  :happy2: bilberry wheel cleaner is the muts nuts

Ive always stuck with dodo juice born to be mild shampoo and waxes.
poorboys is great on a budget especially black hole glaze if you have a dark car.
polish wise by hand the super resin polish by autoglym is always handy to keep around.
auto finnesse ive tried some of their products and they are nice and easy to use - i especially like their citrus pre wash.

maybe best to try a few smaller sample pots of things, i think i saw auto fineesse are bring out a smaple range and others have them and see what works well for you.  good luck  :happy2:

Just used Farecla G3 for the first time.  Very impressed with the little effort it took to get rid of bird sh*t scars

Chemical guys and dodo juice is the stuff, autoglym is ok for general stuff, but the proper specialist stuff it's them two, poor boys as well is good
