OK forget the Chamois and get a waffle drying cloth there around £12 these are very good.:thumbup1:

This is the route I will be going down now, rather then modding the MR2 any more, I want it good enough to win the JAE show N shine:w00t: Can't wait for its new paint job to be done...

Yep as above, don't get a chamois, get a nice waffle weave microfibre drying towel

The Wonder wheels is quite a harsh cleaner (not good on Lexus alloys), so you might be better buying a meguiars wheel cleaner or a similar non acid product? or clay the wheels and protect them with a good wheel wax :thumbup1:
Look forward to the pic's of your gleaming motor

Snow foam nozzle
Snow foam detergent
Chamois - Microfibre much better
turtle wax spray
Wonder Wheels - very aggresive on the wheels, good but check on a small area first, maybe try Meguiar's Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner or something similar
Microfibre mitt
Bucket - 2 buckets, one for washing one for rinsing mit
Car shampoo
wax cloth - Applicators
Polish

Allt aken on baord thanks buddy,
When you say "Applicators polish" what you mean? i though you ahd an applicator to put it on, and a cloth to polish it off?
Cheers

I don't think those two words were meant to go together, I think he was just adding polish to the list as it wasn't on yours
Haha ive caught the bug - Carpediem - 12-03-2018
ahh i see lol, -----but it is ;-) turtle wax spray, hence just putting polishing cloth at the bottom
isntead of loboriously applying wax all over i intend to simply spray it on and then buff the hell out of it

Well you also need grit guards for your buckets.
And you are better of with a lambs wool wash mit for the car and a microfiber one for the wheels.
You also need to use sealant after you polish it , then apply some wax after that.
