Recommended cleaning products (Australia based) for Model Y

I agree. 100%. However still buy a cheap one. Certain things go premium. Other things, no need. But all good. Matters not. Clean car is a great car.

Got them both (Bowden’s Sweet Rubber and All Sorts) on special today at Repco - 25% off.

GTechniq Ceramic Coating all over (not on glass)

This is the one thing that you can do to help keep your car cleaner for longer, and make it easier to wash. It's a must for any new car, $1000 well spent with a GTechniq detailer.

My preferred car wash products are from NV, however it often comes down to personal preference.

Gtech have a misting spray for ceramic coated cars. It is lightly sprayed on when the car is say 85% dry and you then finish the drying with a dry soft cloth. Leaves a stunning result and makes that last bit of drying easier.

NXTZEN Super Clean is amazingly effective for removing insect remains off the front and the mirrors. I buy the 5 litre size. Highly recommended. The guys that did my PPF use it.

I find for me with the PPF and ceramic coating, a pressure wash is good enough to remove 95%+ of the bugs, then foam and hand wash and all is beautiful

Agree, and I use a moist paper towel for any that are stubborn. Leave it on the bugs/droppings and dont let it dry out. 15 mins later they fall off the ceramic coating. No chemicals no scrubbing

I have PPF and a pressure washer, but out here the bugs are too numerous and too stubborn. Without NXTZEN (which was the best of several potions I tried), the pressure washer gets maybe 80% of the mess. With PPF on, I can get really close to the surface, but not good enough without the cleaner.
