Ill start, my favourite wax by FAR, has to be turtlewax nano technology wax. Best shine out of the 20+waxes iv ever used!!
Tyre shine would have to be the spray bottle by turtlewax, the aerosoles run out very quickly but the spray bottles last 5 times longer in my experience and they are normally a bit cheaper than the aerosoles.
Window cleaning would deffo have to be Mr Muscle glass and mirror shine €2.20. Works just as well as the same products by all the big car cleaning companies but they usually charge €4.50 or more.

ill go next then

i am a big fan of autoglym and especially as i get trade price on it haha.

when washing i start with snow foam and cover the car,
simonz wash and wax,
woolen mitts using a two bucket system,
take each wheel off and use autoglym clean wheels,
dry the car with an autoglym chamois,
autoglym clay bar then autoglym supper resin polish then autoglym aqua wax,
autosol metal polish on the bling bits,
then my best trick for the tyres is to use the autoglym rubber and vinyl protector(spray it on and leave it on until it soaks in. repels water and dirt for weeks and best of all it acctualy stays shiny)

I like the sound of the autoglym rubber and vinyl protector, the stuff i use only lasts a week to two but the bottle itselfs lasts 10plus weeks.
