    What in your cleaning collection???

    I posted this in the detail section of this forum before it went down and it got a good bit of interest.
    My collection has grown a vast amount since then and my social life has deteriorated lol. I don't clean cars for a living Its just the R that gets the treatment and yes ALL the products bellow get used when I do a full detail on my car. I'm still learning the paint correction side of things (thanks to polished bliss and the breakfast meets) boy do Volvo's have hard paint

    Interior
    Hendry hover.
    Swissvax - leather milk, leather cleaner, elephant leather preserver.
    Maguire’s - Car odour eliminator, NXT window cleaner, all purpose cleaner.
    Poorboys world - Neutral look cleaner (smells like marzipan).
    Colour lock - Alcantara cleaner, Dye.
    Carlack 68 - window polish, sealer (for outside).

    Outside
    Karcher power washer (industrial), Foam Lance, G220 Polisher, 2 bucket method with grit guard, 2 halogen lights to see paint defects (lots of them just now)
    Maguire’s - Hyper wash (foam lance), NXT shampoo, endurance gloss tyre gel, gold class bug and tar remover, mirror glaze, last touch, all session dressing, mits, clay.
    Chemical guys - Wheel cleaner, wheel guard.
    Menzerna polish - Power finish, final finish.
    Zymol - HD cleanse, carbon wax.
    Jeff’s - Carnauba gloss
    Sonus - Waffle drying towel

    Engine
    Dermal (not in picture)
    Maguire’s - Super degreaser.
    303 - For the plastics (leave it on over night and way hae)
    Race glaze - Metal polish

    I never took all this out just for a picture I was in the middle of sorting it all out



    Cloths - Yellow general inside use, White for engine, Orange For quick detailing products, Blue for polis removal, green for wax



    I have a few other accessories and pads that I use but haven’t bothered to mention.
    So this is my collection for now all the old stuff that I have tried and didn't like is stored in the cupboard for my V40 lol

    My collection is too large to picture in one frame. I need supplies but the list is quite substantive including a 6 by 3 metre awning\canopy.

    My collection is pitiful, it is currently completely empty!! I had a decent range of Autoglym stuff but has ran out and I've never replaced each bottle.

    I've been using stuff round the in-laws including turtlewax which when I was buffing it up, just turned to white powder and was an absolute pig to get off as it kept moving from area to area!! Nightmare stuff to use!
