Right i am in the market for a decent detailing kit for the old man's Bday but i dont know a lot about this stuff so can anybody recommend me something around the £50 mark with wax and a mitt excetera. It will need to be better that Meguires though.

Best Deal For detailing
you'd be better making your own kit up rather than buying him a "kit"
get a small tool bag
then furnish it with the stuff you want
probably cant go wrong with the Bilt hamber range

Yeah i saw that but the offer is out of date i wasnt sure weather it is still good.
this thread may help: https://www.fiatforum.com/car-care/170048-car-care-set.html
I just got all this meg's stuff for £50
brandnew
Not very keen on the megs stuff if i am at all honest
the Gold class shampoo seems to kill wax rather fast and god knows whats in it, I appear to be allergic to something in it and my skin on my hand dries and peels off :yuck:
The polish isn't bad just not a patch on Super resin polish
the gold class wax doesn't last very long IME
the tire shine isn't bad tho neither is teh microfiber mitt or the foam polish/wax pads
(don't mean to **** on your chips coyle just that i have used it and am able to compare it to other stuff )

Thanks for the replies. ROFL At this thread now i know what some people must think when i talk about ICE.
I have read the thread and the links and i am now even more confused than when i started. :bang:. I am very intrigued but still confused.
I am in a bit of a hurry to get this now as i thought it would be a simple open and shut question. How very wrong i was.
So if you had £50 to get a car shiny preferable for different coloured cars what would you buy.

Sorry i am a complete noob to the whole detailing thing, how many microfibres would you need.
I'd say a minimum of 5, but you might aswell get 10- they're cheap enough on ebay etc usually work out at about 50p each
