        Very nice pal. What products did you use? Always interested in what other members use.

        Today I tried 2 products that I won recently, Wolf's Chemicals Blood Moon Wax and a Carnauba Glaze. Nice and shiny topped off with my favourite BSD

                See here pal

                Also plenty of Rabidracoon reviews and product tests on the cleaning and detailing section of this forum.

                If you're in NI then you must order some products from Ronnie at Orchard Autocare over there. Exceptional products that work and are thoroughly recommended

                      Poor techniques for washing and inparticularly drying the car cause damage to it. First and foremost don't use a sponge and dont use a chamois or drying blade.

                        So use a prewash/snow foam after a good rinse with pressure wash and then a drying cloth or how is best to dry it?

                          No, the prewash/snowfoam (the Demon Rapid Dirt Shifter you have) applied to a dry car BEFORE rinsing with pressure washer. You can dilute the RDS 1:1 with water to make it last twice as long and apply by a pressure sprayer.

                          Drying should always be done with a very slightly moistened drying towel.

                          Asda do good(ish) starter drying towels for a couple of quid and the RDS is 2 for the price of 1 atm making it £3.50 per bottle.

                            I thought all demonshine products like rds were bit too commercial and thats why was thinking autobrite or orchard due to them being bit better standard if you know what i mean or am i being stupid lol, say i want to spend £25 on some cleaning products, what would you choose?
