That clio looks lovely amos91!
Gents - I've run out of snow foam. Had been using some of the following :

Can anyone suggest me some better suds, for around the same money? This stuff is good but doesn't cling as long as I'd like it to.
Thanks

Thankyou!
From what I have used Autobrite Magifoam clings the best. Many reviews however favour the cleaning power of something like bilt hamber snow foam (Don't forget some movement is good as it lifts away the dirt)

The best I have used so far is meguires hyperwash : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Meguiars-...038?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item51c830334e
You need far less than with other snow foams I have used, so a bottle like that lasts ages.
That being said, I am going to try something different next time regardless.
I fancy something that won't eat away at my LSP this time around! Damn I fancy a clio again though - friend has just got a 182 trophy and seeing yours.... I'd actually be happy washing a black one if it came out like that!

I clean the door shuts with standard shampoo, or any APC I have to hand, but generally shampoo as it leaves a slight coating.
Tyre dressing, I have tried a number of these;
Autoglym Tyre Dressing
Meguiar's Endurance High Gloss Tyre Protection Gel
Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel
Greased Lightning Brilliant Black Deep Gloss Tyre Shine
Meguiars is extremely messy to apply and IMO doesnt last that well, CG doesnt seem to last that well either and similar application problem with it being a gel.
Autoglym doesnt give the nicest finish (of the above), but can be applied onto a wet wheel and lasts reasonably well. I've just used Greased Lightning for the first time and that definitely gives the nicest finish and went on really easy due to being a liquid rather than a gel. Yet to see how long it lasts for (Day 2). Pay your money, take your chance...
I'd probably recommend you went with Autoglym.

Glass

The first is primarily used to clean/dress interiors. The trim one is for exterior plastics (brings them 'back to black').
Another vote for Bilt Hamber Autofoam. Brilliant stuff. Clingy foam does not equate to cleaning power. This stuff is what many pros use because despite being a little less impressive visually, it does a far superior job. It's cheap too.

thanks I have the trim , ill use that tomorrow then for the external plastics and rubber seals (like around the doors)
what's good for the interior then ? , I was thinking of getting the interior shampoo to do the dash ? or shall I use the vinyl and rubber care?
