Value for money Car Cleaning/Valeting Products

These days you see these "cowboys" setting up car cleaning stations up at old disused petrol stations. Usually charge about £5 for a wash and Leather. I am convinced they dont have any insurance or pay tax.

Surely as moneysavingexperts its more economincal to do it yourself, and plus abit of fresh air and exercise does you good. Ha

To help, does anyone know any good sites where you can buy affordable quality car cleaning products, the stuff that the trade uses/reccomends.

Eg, Traffic film cleaner/tyre shine products/interior cleaners.

Most of us, me included, always belive that if you get your car valeted by the experts they do a better job and also use better long lasting products.
Plus they always leave that just valeted smell.. i am sure some of you know what i am talking about.

Come on, and hope most of you agree, we should all try and wash our own cars, just think how much you could save in a year! :)

    I've used Black Diamond before, they sell products in both consumer sizes and valeting sizes, and all the products I've used have been very good.

    I saw a couple of weeks back that my local Lidl was stocking a new range of car cleaning items, worth checking those out to start with.
