best, cheap cleaning make??

right when i say cheap i mean no more than £3-4 for a 500ml bottle of what ever.

what is the best make for that price range? also what is the best black bumper shine? id pay upto £6 for 500ml, but it would have to survive rain etc, and what would look better for black bumpers on a metalic silver punto? they do some matt and some shiney? thanks for all your help!

im not using washing up liquid!, it damages the paint and makes it rusty and it smears.

Re: best, cheap cleaning make??

Hello there, well the cheapest car detailing products come from Poundland.

Bumper Shine - £1
Glass cleaner - £1
Auto wax - £1
Tyres shine - £1
Alloy cleaner - £1
Air freshener - £1
Underseal - £1
Dash protectant - £1

There are more items at poundland and I use them everytime. You'll be amased by the results you get. Don't judge it by price, they are all quality products at extremely amasing prices. Pop in your local pounland and give me some feedback. Good luck to you all dudes out there.

Re: best, cheap cleaning make??

Don't use underseal, it traps moisture and causes rust. If you're going to coat the underneath use Waxoyl. It's an horrendously messy job. Ideally you will need to get the car off the ground. Plus it's not that cheap for enough to coat the whole underside of the car.
