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. Daz |

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 |

'k, i'll text you to let you know if they have or not - any particular reason for 5? i intended getting 2 - one for degreaser and one for alloy wheel cleaner; were you going to use them all for car stuff? i wasn't intending going to the perth meet, i don't read tbmw, but i might come along anyway |
