It may not be the best but it is very reasonably priced.



True. And very easy and quick to re apply the wax after a quick wash. No
need to use Step 1 or 2 all the time.

Do it yourself you lazy git. Get the Meguiars 3 step stuff, loads of microfibre
cloths and some applicator pads and use plenty of elbow grease.

Well last weekend i went and spent some cash on a total valet by a professional autoglymn valeters in glasgow, they had the car all day and Im happy to say that after only one week theres no wax left on either the roof or the bonnet.

All these companies seem interested in is putting a shine on a 6month old m3, anyone can get a shine on a new car.  I need someone who can work on an older car and get it so I can just simple give the wax a top up every cple of weeks.  certainly expected it to last more than a week.

rant over.

528 for now
