Looking for recommendations for budget bulk products to use for a car wash fundraiser I’m helping to organise.

My experience with washing is limited to the more mid range stuff like Megs and Bilt Hamber and whilst I still have a snowfoam gun and two buckets I’ve not washed my own cars in years.

Plan is to borrow a petrol pressure washer to use alongside my boggo Karcher and aim for something similar to your generic hand car wash places i.e. wheel cleaner and TFR followed by a quick blast, snow foam, rinse and dry.

I don’t need the full on 25L trade drums of product so not sure what is best for the wheels, TFR and foam. Any ideas?

These products always pop up in my Facebook feed, don't think they are that great but worth a look.
Just be careful washing other people's cars though.

I have been really impressed by EZ's products. I went from using Meguiars to ordering a starter kit when EZ had a sale on. I admittedly haven't used everything I ordered but from what I have:

- Citrus Pre Wash - Never used one before this, but really effective at lifting grime out of paint work (even on a white car). Great for also getting the gunk out of door/boot shuts and that nasty spot in behind the fuel flap.

- Sub-Zero Snow Foam - As good (for me anyway) as the Meguiars ultimate snow foam.

- Lotus Hydrophobic Glass Cleaner - Really effective as a cleaner and keeps the screens/windows clean for a good while - really effective to stopping streaking when it rains.

- Chromance spray wax - Leaves a good shine which lasts, although make sure you work panel by panel and dont let it dry on the paint. I have been using budget amazon microfibres to apply it but i am sure there are better options.

The Screwfix own brand wash and wax shampoo is actually pretty good.
