BMW CLEANING PRODUCTS

Are they any good or should i just use a premium brand like autoglym.

Any recommedations for quality shampoo,polish and wax. A vaeting set would be good.

How much cash you got and what you after?

I think BMW stuff is mostly P21 (or whatever its called now, R222?) and made in germany.

I am a valeter at BMW (I swirl cars for a living) and will try to get some trade prices and more information for you.

But if it was me, I would stick with either Bulk or Boutique products.

(I use alot of AG, Swissvax and Espuma for instance)

Didnt know BMW did a clay?

Its going to be a stretch getting decent kit for £35.

But have a look at cleanyourcar (Tim), he does a clay for £9, but BiltHamber do the soft clay which is bigger at £11. With the BH clay you just need water and not a QD as a lube (I use valet pro citrus bling as the QD Lube).

People rave about the dodo shampoo, but not used it so cant comment on it. I use a trade bulk shampoo from Espuma at £15 for 5L. But shampoo is shampoo in winter so I would go Halfords and see whats on offer/deals.

Polish, AG srp, cant fault it really. Gets rid of some swirls, hides others.

Wax, I use fk1000p in winter or carlack (which is a bit cheaper)

With the carlack you can miss out the srp, since it does remove/hide some swirls as well, plus it offers fantastic protection.

If your lucky, thats under £35 not inc the 2 buckets etc.

If your local to manchester, could pop in for some free stuff

The BMW stuff is made for them by Einzett. It is generally good enough stuff, but you'll pay for the fact it's BMW branded. I've not heard of them ever supplying clay though.

I wouldn't choose to use Autoglym, but to be fair for your budget, what Bluto has suggested makes excellent sense. Particularly the Carlack products, very good cleaners, do a bit of filling, and the sealant is very durable - suits white (and silver) very well too.
