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 |

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.  ------------- 1995 e36 3.0 M3 Coupe, Daytona Violet, AP Racing BBK, CCFL Angel Eyes, M3 Spoiler, M-Tec 3 Steering Wheel. 2000 530d Steptronic, Poverty Spec, 18" Alloys. |

I used meguirs 3 step stuff about 6 weeks ago and you can see the wax is still there when it rains. It may not be the best but it is very reasonably priced. ------------- Entering an age of Austerity and now driving a Focus Diesel. |
