Been given a bottle of "Showroom shine" which is a no water cleaning solution but everything about it screams "do not use" to me.

Has anyone had any experience with it?

Isn't that the stuff that is advertised on the shopping channel? :p

It was one of those products where you just spray on to your dirty car and wipe off, with the sales men saying how it doesn't scratch your paint blah blah.

Whereas I use a detailing spray after a normal wash just to clean up any water spots/imperfections and give a nice shine. :)

so, how are people planning on cleaning their cars during the hose pipe ban - annoyingly I didn't get a chance to clean mine last weekend and the ban has kick in here :( Guess its time to wash out the watering can!

I normally take mine to this place



Slot a few quid in the machine and wash away until I have had enough. As far as I know they are a big chain so might be one close by, there is two within 10 miles of me.

I also take all my stuff and only use the jet washes never the nasty looking brush.

Guys,

Whats the best wax for a WHITE car?
I've always used R222 (previously P21S) Concours Carnauba Wax in the past.
Is this still OK or should i be using a wax made for white cars like DoDo Juice Diamond White?

Washed the Ibiza at the weekend. The paint is in dire need of correction, but under natural light it looks OK.

Junc 10 M6 - Walsall :)

Im pretty much fully booked until June already. I only do it part time but try to do 2-3 per week.

Phil W suggested I post up more on here...
 
Anyone know a high street retailer that sell either the 3M or Meguiars headlight restoration kits? Mine are really hazy at the moment and have an urge to sort it this weekend (why do these things always enter your head when it's too late to order online?).

Not high street, but surely there's a Halfords somewhere near?

Doubt it the 3M one is hard enough to find over here, I ordered mine from USA ebay, but great kit!
