Meguiars isn't really that expensive - as I tried to convince Lyn. We (I) went out the other day and spent just £53 on shampoo, polish, tyre paint, polish applicators, polishing cloths, drying towels. That lasted until the next weekend when I 'topped up' with another £36.
I can't believe that I gave in to their advertising and bought Terry Towelling to dry the car "with satin bound edges to avoid scratching"; micro fibre drying towel that absorbs 12 times its own weight in water; micro fibre polishing cloth.
But, the first results were suberb. The yellow drying cloth really was better than the chamois that I have used over the past 35 years. The microfibre polishing off cloth really did make easy work of the job. The polished finish drew praise from most of the neighbours. The freshly cleaned alloys were set off perfectly by the tyre dressing.
A couple of hours later I woke up.
It hadn't been a dream, I just passed out after the effort followed by a glass of Tobermory.
Next decision is what to do with the bag full of old t-shirts that we keep for car & bike cleaning. Some of the seams look a bit rough and could de untold damage to freshly polished surfaces.
