TVR recommeded cleaning products?

[tim67]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if TVR recommend or endorse any particular car shampoo or polish for their cars? If so, is this in the manual?

Thanks,
Tim

Not as far as I know. I use P21S - check Pies' profile for details. Fantastic stuff and half the price of the big names.

Well there we have it then. Lesson No 1: Don't listen to me!

recommend, endorse and "genuinely believe it to be the best on the market" are all very different matters.

I've no axe to grind, but I'd take any TVR recommendation on anything like that with a healthy pinch of salt.

That said, I do use Autoglym & meguires, but if TVR happen to endorse it then that's just a coincidence.

I recently bought a load of Zymol gear. Cleanse (shampoo to normal people), wax, wheel cleaner, glass cleaner, sponge, clothy things, leather cleaner & leather treatment.

Cost approx. £175, but doesn't half do a good job.

I always used Autoglym and have got good results. I believe this is the official "endorsed" product.

P21s is without doubt the best wax out there. But then thats only the finishing product!

I used to use Autoglym, but then I tried Zimol and now wont use anything else. The paint actualy sparkles!!

Agree with the comments on Zymol. It is expensive but I'm not alone in thinking its worth it. Put the effort in and you will get great results.

IMHO....

Many of the product's listed, perform in a very similar way.....

How long you intend on spending, finishing the car is the greatest question....

I will wash, shammy, and polish most weekends....

I spend Half an hour on each panel....And that's too much...

Time and commitment are crucial.... Mr Sheen's car for instance is even polished underneath....

??????????WHY?????????????

Guys, I run vertar.com, and will quite happily offer PH members free delivery on Zymol (usually £4.95). Just mention your profile name when ordering.

Cheers,
