    I don't get a lot of time to take care of my car. Trying to keep it reasonably clean. Looking at getting either
    I had seen somewhere that the NXT stuff had softeners, which would probably be good for my hard water?

    All these are on a bit of an offer in halfrods, as you can see.

    I do plan on putting on some collinite for wax soon. And I already have some nxt tech wax on it.

    What do ye think? Or buy something completely different? 2010 black ford focus with a million miles on it. :D

    Should have added. Have powerhose and foam cannon. I tend to just use the same old car shampoo in the foam cannon, rinse off after a few minutes, then wipe it down with microfibre mitt / two buckets.

    TBH, with a 2010 car, wondering should I bother with the two buckets! :-D

    I use this with my snow foam lance and find it excellent:

    I'm another that uses the Bilt Hamber Auto-Foam and after trying many alternatives, I keep going back to it.

    As above Bilt Hamber ,don't have snow foam lance, 2 bucket method, about €13 but it last a long time you only use a tea spoon in the bucket.

    Best value for buck has to be this.
    I use it and find it identical in every way as Chemical guys Mr.Pink only much cheaper.

    If I were you I'd stay away from anything that's a "wash & wax". It's grand to use it on the paint but when using it on glass it has a tendency to build up, cause smearing/fogging and reduce the efficiency of your wiper blades.

    I used use NXT Shampoo and I likied it a lot. It foams brilliantly and smells great.
