Every 3 years or so I purchase a 5 litre bottle of car wash/wax.
Today I have finished my most recent one, which is (was) Turtle Zip Wax.
All I know is this product is inferior to whatever I used last time. Problem is....I can't remember what I used last time because it was 3 or 4 years ago!
So before I go shopping does anybody have an opinion on what is the best all in one car wash/wax product? Simoniz, Car Plan? Halfords own brand? Something else?

"Vortex3" gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
Blimey, talk about a big question...
Mer is brilliant stuff.
Has to be McGuires
Vortex3 coughed up some electrons that declared:
Autoglym without doubt. Not that I've tried many brands. Stopped searching after I found the aforementioned product. Shampoo is very effective.

"Collinite 476" was mentioned recently in uk.rec.cars.maintenance - by the sounds of it, it's good enough to only need doing once a year (!)
If I ever get a new car, it's what i'm going for :-}
What's the car washing thing? Doesn't it rain where you are? In the winter I occasionally scrap the mud/salt off the lights and number plates but that's all.
Having said that it does get a wash and vac every 12,000 miles when it is serviced by the dealers. But TBH I rather have a twenty quid off the bill...
Autoglym is a well established & trusted brand used by many professional car valeters. Never used their shampoo, but everything else I have used has been great.
Hi,
I used to own a series 1 rs turbo which I used to show in the concours class. The best polish I came across was meguairs. It works brilliant one black paint as most don't. Also it makes the shine appear a lot deeper.

Something else.
Wax in the washing water gets on the windscreen etc and is a pain. Better to keep the two jobs separate. A decent 'wax' done after washing will last much longer too.
