    Looking for some decent detailing products for as little as possible. Preferably things you could get in the likes of Halfords, or any shops in around Trinity College.

    Hoping to invest in a few good products like collinite in the future, but don't have the cash at the minute.

    Want to go as all out as I can to get the exterior looking well. So is washing it with a car shampoo and the waxing it enough? I'll probably clay it, but I'd like an idea of what the average weekly wash should entail. I can bring the car into the garage to wax etc. if needed.

    What you'll need for your average weekly wash....
    Two Buckets....one wash bucket (with shampoo), and one rinse bucket (to wash out the mitt after washing a panel)
    A good washmitt
    pH neutral shampoo (protection safe)
    A good drying towel
    Quick detailer - optional
    Wheel Cleaner

    Buying cheap is a bit of a catch 22. You end up using more of an inferior product, so its a false economy. You are better off buying a good product which can be diluted to your needs.

    To get the exterior looking very well, a good claying will make a massive difference.
