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 :uglyhamme
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

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.

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.

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!
