2011 Sll Caprice/ 2009 SR5 Turbo
Hi guys,

I recently purchased a 2011 S2 Holden Caprice and the time to give it its first wash has come, Due to it pissing down rain when I went to get a mate who got stranded on the side of a highway. Anyway, with my previous cars I washed them using a bit of laundry powder and water in a bucket. Now tell me how I can do the best clean at home for about under $60. I have the next 3 months off and **** loads of time to waste, so I dont mind if it is a time consuming process. Thanks guys.

How much will it be then???

Me personally.

Wash and Wax - $20-25

Lambs wool mit - $15

Decent sized Chamois - $15-20

Polish - $25-35

Clay bar kit - $30

Mind you I "buy" all Meguiars. ...and when I say buy, I mean the Meguiars rep comes in and I say, what would you recommend for my car? ...and he hands me a bucket full of products.

I actually did buy some stuff the other month for my step brother and it came to about 140 bucks, thats including some interior stuff.

If youre looking for a Glass Cleaner I cannot recommend Meguiars No Smear highly enough, Its magnificent.
