The bug shifter is only a net type material over a sponge, so Wilko's will do the job, its only for the front screen and headlamps.

Ah so not a fluid for removing the bugs and not used on paintwork...

Its only a sponge...

Hi mate i have been detailing for a while now. Try carwashnwax.co.uk the products are unbeatabe for value for money and the quality is right up there with Meguiars etc. One or two little tips always use a lambswool/microfibre wash mit as this will help prevent surface scratching and swirl marks. Also use 2 buckets each with a grit guard in, one for rinsing the mit and the other for the shampoo, this will also help against damaging the paintwork. If u need anymore help mate just PM me with your questions.
PS A must product is Klasse All In One, motorgeek.co.uk brilliant product

Don't use domestos to clean your lovely alloys!!! Thats a crime. Wonder Wheels is simply a diluted acid with a bit of detergent in it.

Virosol is a natural de-greaser that cleans nice and gently yet shift stubborn brake dust. Dont use it on your bodywork though, only on your alloys (spray it on); and you can use it under the bonnet but dont spray, use a cloth or something.

Also top-tip from someone else on here is to use Johnsons Baby bath as your car wash, although the mrs does laugh and take the piss with it having "no more tears" on the bottle!!!

stevieyid,

Nice to hear you use the Klasse All In one.

I have never net met any one who uses this product before and i,ve raved about it for years now, my Dad used this when i was a kid, he still uses it to this day, its all i have ever used its truly amazing stuff when used with the protective coating it outlasts other products hands down, my mate polishes and waxes his every month and its not a patch on the shine that i get with Klasse all in one,

any way on a less serious note and going back about 5 years my then mate used oven cleaner to clean his alloys, he had used it for about 12 Months or so he said, he was advised by a tyre fitter not to use such products and went for something called Muc off, as it was safer for all concerned, after using the cleaner the laquer lifted and the alloys were shot, so you cant always beleive what you hear...........

i,m no scientist but common sense suggests the chemical abbresavises in the oven cleaner reacted and/or paid a major part in the process,

Yep Klasse AIO is a great product, mainly because it saves so much time. I use this for my standard details then add a wax over the top and the reults are amazing.
I do prefer to do a full polish though and then add a pure glaze as this produces a really wet shine that i dont thin the Klasse can match. Then seal and wax it and the shine is amazing. Although this process takes about 5 hours longer.

Got me some Virosol so will be giving that a go later.

Tried to get a clay bar and spray from my local halfords but couldn't find any. Guess I'll have to look online...
