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.

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

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

is it worthwhile getting one of those spray bottle things that the car washers use and if so, where from?
