I think it's supposed to be used after the Super Resin Polish, but I'm not sure if it's worth doing before waxing, am I right in thinking that wax itself if a sealant?

In which case you don't need to wax also.

I think I'll use the wax instead of the EGP
AG recommend SRP followed by HD, so you'd be right
My Nilfisk pressure washer is screwed, the lance joints where the extenison and the selectable "bit" at the end are pouring water out.
was fine last time i used it before xmas and the cold weather, now i tried to use it sunday to wash my cars and its useless.
the cold affected the seals?

What can I say? The weather has been crap, all the time, and so I thought "why bother, as soon as I drive off the driveway its going to get covered in crap" so I try to clean it on a weekend where it hasn't rained, and its knackered, luckily I got the box/receipt and its less than a year old, so going to take it back tomorrow and see what they say at screw-fix.

I think I'm going to give this stuff a try. I've been using matte finish armour all wipes to clean the interior of my SEAT Ibiza but find that they don't stay clean for long so hopefully this stuff will last alittle longer.
It's good stuff but you do need to spend some time applying and buffing it properly for a proper matte finish as close to original as possible. I use it on the dash and the non leather door panels as it works great on those but even though my centre console area and cubby hole doors are also matte they're more smoother textured and I found under strong sunlight you could see streak marks left by the Poorboys so for those I just use Simoniz Matte spray which gets similar results as the Poorboys on the textured matte surfaces.
Did I mention it looks and smells like bubblegum?
Doesn't taste like it though.

I use Autoglym Fast Glass on my interior plastics as it's also for cleaning the window glass, so it's just easier to use one bottle for both jobs. However I've not really used anything else so I can't really say if it's any good...it just cleans up the trim and returns it to a more factory looking state.
