I dont mind the auto glym kit. In the kit you get the clay bar,a small tub of polish,s spray bottle of lubricate;micro fibre cloth and another cloth.

I fill a atomiser bottle up with Luke warm water and drop a little car shampoo in and If the cars a little worse I use 3-4 drops of washing up liquid instead of the shampoo mate .
