Look out for Citrus Degreaser - I got my last lot at the Cycle Shop (a 600 ml bottle of concentrate was £7).

I used to use it for cleaning my bicycle chain - fantasic stuff cleaned all the oil off no problem.....and it is also eco friendly

Maybe of interest is his website Miracle Detail website - you may be able to get some tips/info  

aye i watched it last night, £6000 for a tub of car wax means he's got more money than sense

some handy tips though, i'll have to look for the degreasing spray, you see them using it at the local IMO car wash

Looking good Daz (Your car not you in the pic)

Cheers!  I was very pleased with the results.  The rain just beads off the car now.  Dark cars are very hard work as I'm sure you'll know.  But the results are well worth it in my opinion.

I still put him to shame   7000 or somethin for a tub of wax? I put a coat of wax on an old banger on my street and its still goin strong nearly a year on, so id like to see the stuff he uses .

Gotta get me P21s before the 30th

 

That P21S Is rubbish
