Can I ask where you all buy your cleaning products, cloths etc. I want to replace our chamois with something synthetic and also get some rain replellant for the windows.

Thanks

Just bought some glaco, left work at lunch time to put it in, then it rained......not that it was supposed to. Will have to wait.

I use the site above as well as The Ultimate Finish and My Car Cleaning.

Tbh I hadn't realised there was a cleaner and a sealant. I've just used the cleaner and it made a big difference to getting rid of wiper juts etc
 
I bought a kit direct, cleaner, sealant, top up and cloth (just a normal microfibre cloth, nothing special)
Hoping the judder goes!
Judder went for me but I did swap the wipers at the same time as they were due.
 
That’s basically it. It takes a bit more effort to apply but there are YouTube videos showing the process, worth it in the end for the protection you get..
If I spam this all over the wheels before getting tyres fitted, will the balancing weights stick?
 
So had some work done to my car (CV joint and spring replaced on front driver side wheel)

The garage was not one I've used before and won't again because they didn't put the right wiper back on properly. It sat too high so when it was used the wiper blades would come off the glass and rub against the bodywork.

On the day I picked it up I had to use my car for family stuff so didn't have to to get them to fix it. So I was kinda stuck in the rain therefore had to use the wipers. Now I've got these scuff marks on the body work on driver side column.

I was thinking of getting some compound and buffering it out as when I run my finger over it I can't feel anything it's smooth.

Is that a good idea for this kind of scuff mark?
 
Another vote for Meguires Compound.

SRP is a Polish with very little “cut” and has fillers which tends to hide imperfections temporarily rather than correct them.
