just sorted out all my cleaning stuff and realised i need:
shampoo
tyre dressing
wheel cleaner
plastic dressing (to make it shine black)
polishing cloths
are microfibre cloths polishing cloths?
also, what is the best chamois to go for?
any off the shelf products from halfords will be fine.

Nice rug.
I dry mine with the Megs Water Magnet cloth thing and a microfibre cloth.
I also use the microfibre cloths for taking wax and polish off. Awesome things.

If its of the shelf you want I'd say these-
Wheels - Megs Hot Rims
Tyres - Megs Endurance(less shine lasts longer) or Auto Glym Tyre Dressing(More Shine, dosen't last long)
Polishing/Microfibre - Megs polishing cloths(The Auto Glym Perfect Polishing Cloths are rubbish)
Drying - Megs Water Magnet.

If you are prepared to order from Elite, i'd get a Sonus der wunder drying towell, and Elites 16x16 Polishing Cloth, far better than the Megs alternatives imo.
