Washed using Tesco Car Shampoo with two buckets, then polished with Auto Glym Super Resin Polish and then a futher polish with Auto Glym Extra Gloss Protection. I use a power washer and Costco Micro Fibre cloths for drying & polishing.

Mine when fully wased and waxed!
I now use car shampoo - turtle wax, then clay the car, then use chemical guys mirror shine, and Zymol wax, then Autoglym HD wax, finally, if I have the time, a gloss guard, either AutoGlym, or Turtle wax.
Just ordered a new pre polish swirl remover by chemical guys, apparently developed for aircraft and uses micro technology!

Gave mine a quick detail yesterday.
-rinse
-Apc agitated around seals, pannels, etc
- Rinse
- Bilberry on wheels agitated with detailing brush
- Car washed with 3M car wash soap (2 bucket method)
- Rinse
- dry
- Zaino Z5 polish
- Zaino Z18
Wife treated the leather to some Zaino leather in bottle and a vaccum.
Might get the Dual action buffer out to give the paintwork a proper polish. But that can wait till i`ve got more time.
Anyway here is the result of a couple of hours work.

My first proper go!
Hi all,
after finding cleanyourcar.co.uk I've abandonded my comrades at the hand car wash for ever & bought myself a bit of detailing kit. Over the last 2 Sundays I was nowhere to be seen apart from the odd beer break! So after all those years of loyal service I gave the old girl a good going over It went like this
Interior & mats vaccumed interior wiped down and finished with Poorboys world trim restorer, glass cleaned & polished with AG glass polish & finished with a blast under the mats & down the vents with CG stripper scent 'the sweet smell of success! lovely
Lower half of car, arches, badges, door jams and boot washed with zymol shampoo & detailing brush & plastics finished with PB world trim restorer.
washed rest of car with zymol shampoo, dryed, clayed, washed again then finished with one coat of PB world black hole glaze & 2 coats of PB natty's blue paste wax, & exterior glass with AG glass polish.
I am now exhausted, and it rained today
