Default Question for buftys

Am looking to buy some Meguiar's products, but unsure what to choose.
Basically, i need a very good car shampoo, and a very good polish to make my Escort shiny
As i saw, there are several options (liquid, paste, wax...) and am a bit lost with all this, considering all is english, not available in France, and so i need your help to tell me what to buy
thanks in advance

best is to stick with the gold class stuff,

gold class wash and gold class wax, i use that.

wash... http://shop.meguiars.co.uk/cgi-bin/s...?pc=G7116&tp=0

wax... http://shop.meguiars.co.uk/cgi-bin/s...?pc=G7016&tp=0

the nxt generation stuff is supposed to be good as well but ive yet to use that

get yaself some applicators and a good towel or polishing cloth for taking it all off the difference between those and rags is amazing

never tested it either. That's because i've read several times that Meguiar's was far better...

Hi There,

I'm using Autoglym and some stuff form Mequiars.
Got the NXT shampoo and wax with some applicator pads.
Also added the quick detailer and the quick clay.
Result is awesome although with the autoglym I've got the same shiny results.
If you want the nonplus ultra.
Look at

www.swissol.com

Ain't have experience with it, but for the price they're selling it , it must be truly awesome.

Grtz

Bryan
