As Halfrauds has a 3 for the price of 2 promotion on, as I was going to get some more Meguires products, I thought I might ask here what folks recommend?

Any thoughts on polish/ detailing products?
Is the glass cleaner any good?
Should I buy anything in particular?

3 for 2 is not what it seems. Its buy 2 and get the cheapest free.

So dont buy 3 of one thing at 9.99, then 3 at 6.99. then 3 at 1.99, as the 3 at 1.99 will be the promotion items.

buy 3 at same or similar price to get best benefit from the promotions.
Selection of BMW hardtops available, please ask!

I've used their tyre slick before and thought the results to be better pretty good. Can't remember the name but it's a purple gel applied sparingly with a sponge. Smelt pretty good too - kinda like aftershave for your car winkeye

Good deal,

I bought the leather conditioner but haven't used it yet. Also bought their 'Gold class trim detailer' and used it on all the black external trim. I did all the grills and bumpers, rubbers etc. and barely used a quarter of a bottle. It makes trim look like new again.

It really is awesome stuff.

The car wash is very good stuff, Gold Class is what its called, havent tried the newer NXT wash but heard its good too.
The purple gel as mentioned above is the Tyre shine and its also good. Worth buying.
And lastly id buy the Carnuba wax, called step 3 as there are 2 previous bottles to use if you do as Meguiars say, paint cleaner then polish but if you use different polish this wax gives a good shine.

The meguiars gold class carnuba wax works really well. Also used the quick clay kit and was very impressed with the results.
