Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

How many packs did people buy?
I've gone for 4, so I hope they're not terrible.
Worst case scenario I'll use a couple dozen on cleaning the engine bay.TestTransmission wrote: »Bought 3..

You can get window cleaner etc in aldi for 89c I think, mad that it's cheaper than buying an empty bottle.0 -

Meguiars ones only $2.49, last time I bought these they were $2, and if you bought two packs the third was free. I bought about 20 packs

I much rather these for applying wax or sealants.

If you stood on them they probably wouldn't bend!
Bought a pair of those today.

There's tons of cheap stuff on ebay with the right keywords. Free Shipping & Worldwide with a search of car clean brings up loads of cheap cloths and the like.
Nice looking towel here for £0.99.
Cheap clay bar for $5
Around 7EUR delivered for a synthetic wool mitt
Windscreen wipes for £1.10 [Free Shipping could be a mistake there though]
Big Sponge for £1.01. Could be good for wheels or under arches.
Magic Sponge for $1.50. Yeah.. not sure what this thing is but it has "Car Wash" in the title
Not really detailing but in a similar vein we have a "paintless dent removal" system for less than 7 euro delivered. This basically involves using hot glue to attach one of the pullers to the car then pulling it out with the screw and frame. It's a nice idea in theory but I did just go for it and managed to pull off a chunk of paint when removing the puller. Apparently it is best to use a glue remover in conjunction with this product.
Best for cheap attempts at bangers. Wouldn't go near anything expensive with it!
Also a clear coat "repair" pen for $1.50. Thing could be useless but I did manage to mask some very light scuffs with one.0 -

I honestly think I wouldn't buy any of those.0 -

@dar83 - Did your sponges arrive yet? still waiting for mine.
They are at the Post office depot waiting for me to collect them. (Well I suspect it's them, the Postman left one of those failed delivery notices in my door on Tuesday).
Today is the first chance I've had of making it down there to them before they close, so I'll find out later. 0 -

Hope its a nice surprise whatever it is:)
TBH I would not be wondering only for the fact the some received theirs last week, these freepost orders often take 4 or more weeks to arrive in my experience.0 -
Picked these up in Aldi this evening. The two round brushes will make nice detailing brushes and @ €2.99 for the 5 they work out very inexpensive.
I'm not sure if the metal ring will be an issue as it is a good 20mm from the end of the bristles, so may look at cutting this off.
There were a few sets left in Santry.
