Default Car Cleaning gear

Anyone need any cleaning gear? If so i'll arrange to put some kits together. 3 levels, basic, intermediate and advanced. Will come in a nice keep them safe plastic box.

Poorboys have just released some cracking new products that help to minimise the look of swirls.

Will need 10 paid up orders to secure. If someone would like to post it in the group buy section I'm sure that i can add a little something in for taking care of the arranging

Basic will include:

wash mitt
drying towel
applicator
2 microfibre cloths
wax

Medium will include:

as above +
wheel cleaner
wheel brush
interior trim cleaner or glass cleaner
2 extra microfibres

Advanced will include

as medium +

wheel sealant
interior trim cleaner or glass cleaner
polish
clay bar
quick detailer


Things like All purpose cleaner (for doing the engine bay and upholstery), metal polish etc can be added on at a reduced cost.

i'd think basic will be around £35ish, medium around £65ish and advanced around £120ish

Kits will last around a year to 18 months of cleaning if used properly and every other week even.

I could arrange a "how to" detailing day where the kits are included in the cost if that would be more preferable?

The translucent clear plastic sides of the bucket allow you to monitor the status of the rinse water easily, and will encourage you to change it more regularly during the wash process
LMFAO: You lot need to stay in more!!! hahhahaha

i'll have a look at B&Q Romford and pick some up if i find any

Matt - I've already got lots of stuff but would like to buy another of the Mothers foam drying towells.... Much better than the Poorboys one!

I'll get it when I'm over at the end of June.

All the best

I feel bad now I use mine as 2 clear puke buckets for the kids in the back of the car

I use large chemical guys buckets and 2 grit guards in each which I find better. If you are using pre rinse and 2 buckets with grit guards the rinse bucket shouldn't be so stinking that you need to worry.

been looking into the product side and i've pretty much decieded that after the stuff i have now has sold i'm not going to do the supply side and stick to the detailing side.

if however there are 10 orders for these kits i'll go ahead with them.
