Default best products for a white car

looking to change from autoglym soon and want to know what people with white cars are using as for wash and polish. I went with autoglym in the first place years ago as i like there all in one kit package.. if another manufacturer does the same then thatll be awesome lol!

I personally use this site http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polish...sh/cat_16.html

They only sell decent stuff, and rather then 20 different car shampoo's and 20 different polishes etc to pick from, they just have a small hand full of each, and all of them are very good, thats what i like about that site

For washing i use this stuff http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washin.../prod_144.html

Awesome stuff, it cleans the crap off well and leaves a just polished look on the paint work, and also has some stuff added to stop the calcium in water drying onto the paint and leaving those horrible spots everywhere, and makes the water run off so when you come to dry the car its almost like the sun has been on it as theres not much to dry, so takes half the time 10 times better than Autoshite which leaves marks everywhere!

For polish as said above, for price/value/quality you cant beat poorboys and chemical guys products, if you have 5-10 quid more to spend then get Dodo juice, its not expensive and its meant to be fantastic stuffhttp://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/dodo-juice/dodo-juice-diamond-white/prod_405.html

I bought the Jeffs Werkstadt (sp?) Acrylic Kit from PolishedBliss after they recommended it for White/Silver cars and the Impreza came up really well with it... absolute doddle to use too, hardest bit was the washing and claying before it.
