Seems like I have plenty of options.

So do I go for:

Autoglym Lifeshine
Gtechniq ceramic coating

Or
Gtechniq C2 v3 Liquid Crystal Spray - Hydrophobic Nano Coat Paint Sealant,

Or

Autoglym cleaning kit
Gtechniq cleaning kit

Or

Pay someone to clean it once a month?

Weather permitting I'll be trying this lot out https://www.autoglym.com/polarpressurewasher + https://www.autoglym.com/products/bodywork/magma

Previously been using https://www.ashfieldvaletingsupplies.co.uk/ with amazing results.

Always used snow foam though. Nice to see it loosen and lift the dirt off and the car looks great when it's covered it in ;)

I've tried loads of different products over the years but I always end up back at autoglym. Their products are tried and tested. They have one product for one purpose.

If you look at meguairs for example they have a load of products that overlap in a number of different ranges. Is it a polish, is it a wax, is it a wax/cleaner/polish, is it a cleaner wax.... Oh my.

Well impressed with the Autoglym Polar Series.

Any body used a car dryer for the outside so you don’t need to touch the car with a drying cloth ?

No, but I've watched a couple of videos and it seems like quite a lengthy process compared to the conventional method. I think I'd just be inclined to take the car for a quick blat and blow the water off that way. Or, use a 2000w hair dryer on a cool setting?
