I clean my car using the wash/wax from Meguiars

This is still probably the best wheel cleaner I have found for easily removing the break dust that my car makes almost before it is started  - http://www.meguiars.co.nz/G9524/
This is the wash - http://www.meguiars.co.nz/G17748I/

I get given shit for not actually doing proper cut n polish efforts or clay bars etc - but that is too much effort. I generally take it to a place to get that work done   - and in general they do a shit house job and I vow I will do it myself the next time, and then I don't

Haven't cleaned my car properly for over a year, its had the odd brushless car wash, but It was a nice day yesterday so I went all out, took me about 6 hours, looked like new again

This morning on the way to work.. Raining, roadworks, heaps of dirty roadspray .. Now I remember why I don't bother.

Hahaha. I washed and waxed it on Saturday.

Drove to Hamilton on Sunday, now windscreens covered in dead bugs.

Turns out it needs tyres.


Any Recommendations?

My typical driving consists of driving on at motorway at 10km/h then slamming my breaks when someone cuts in front.

Firestone all the way! (I am biased though as I have a few acquaintances who work at or run stores)
I was on a budget the last time I needed tyres and got some cheap Dunlop directional s, I have regretted it ever since :(

Anywhere near Onehunga? If so I can see what deal I can get you on that size.

Speaking of car products (which I assume we are cos it is the name of the thread derp), my japanese friend brought me one of these once

can't figure out if I should bother to use it though. You have to cart this thing around taking up space in the glovey, then actually remember to pull it out when time to deposit fries.

Thoughts?

A while ago I got a wax attack buffer type thingy for car polishing. When used with good wax it makes a massive difference. Wax wise, I use mother's carnuba (sp) or ICE car polish.
