Evening all,

I found some bits about cleaning (mainly black spyders) on the forum, but could not find a place where people talk about cleaning their car.

What do you kind folks use for shampoo, wax, wheel cleaner and protection (Gtechniq was mentioned) etc?

Schoolboy ... I recently used a new chamois and forgot to rinse it out properly, had a waxy coating on and I had to wash the car again once I tried to dry it with that nonsense.

Also just to add, I recently got a boot-buddy for the Macan. It is expensive, but so worth it if you want to protect the boot from dirty dogs etc.

Cheers

Chamois????!!!!!

Oh man you can’t rub some old bit of cow over your car. Microfibre drying towels protected by some quick detailed spray are the only option.

And there’s more much much more!

Just do what I do, and go to the local pub car park crew. Life's too short to worry about the 2 bucket system and drying with unicorn breath. :lol:

Have one of those but only use it for wheels and crevices. Creates too much dust in the air for the whole car.
