Washing machine, with a liquid sensitive type washing solution, no softener.

How is everyone washing their drying cloths and polish pads ?

Polish pads, by hand using car shampoo. Well rinsed with warm water, squeezed then dried in the airing cupboard.

Expensive watching this channel …
Just watched one today advocating not rinsing the van before snowfoaming so I’m going to try that
I didn’t think the autoglym got double the price extra results

Nothing wrong with AG products. As with as waxes, it's all about the prep beforehand. It's pointless waxing over tar splattered, swirly paintwork.

Also, apply wax sparingly. It you dollop it on, all that extra needing to be buffed off is wasted product.

All I use are AG products, the snow foam, lance and high performance tyre gel are excellent.

If you have a trade card for Halfords you get a pretty decent discount as well.

I went halves with a mate and bought bulk AG products from ebay - far far cheaper and we have enough to last us till 2065
