for a wax, i would recommend dodo light fantastic which is a soft wax, or dodo diamond white (quality name) which is a hard wax and would probably have better durabilty over the light fantastic, although softer waxes are easier to apply/buff off normally.. there are many shampoos on CYC so it just boils down to cost really as they are all good, also tim (guv @ cyc) is a top bloke and i recieved an order today in top condition and well packaged - i ordered it on the saturday just gone, but if you order on a week day, it should arrive next day..
hope this helps and happy cleaning

As already said, you cant go wrong with the Dodo range.
I will be looking to get some of this myself as and when funds allow but i want the New Supernatural.

Tim at CYC is a good source to use and if you go to his forum there is plenty of help and advice to be found.
