Where's the best price to get some Iron-X? Amazon is pretty steep at £19 but I've found it for £10+ ~£4 P&P on cleanyourcar.co.uk. Anywhere cheaper? (500ml bottle)

wolf's chemical deironiser is pretty much the same stuff.

Has anybody used this:

I have ran out of Tardis and thought I would try some of this as it seems cheaper. The reviews seem pretty good.

Guys, don't bother with Auto Glym polish... It's semi decent gear but creates far too much dust.

Use Harly Wax.... Incredibly easy to apply and you can get it anywhere without marking plastics and what not. The stuff gives you a display grade wet look gloss that you only see at motor shows and the tub lasts for ages....

I'm no expert on cleaning products but I remember when i used to do my Puma with AG super resin and the dust was excessive.

I'm using AG HD wax now and it is so much better.
 
Having used AG UDS and EGP over the last 2 weeks, I can safely say that you really need to be sparing with AG products, if you have dust you are using too much! Too much EGP bakes on like a nuns. What do you guys use to get polish powder out of nooks, crannys and cracks?
 
Is it hot when you are applying your wax/polish? Try a detailing brush or just be a bit more sparing when you are applying near hard to access area's.

I use a detail brush and the edge of a microfibre cloth.

I used to run a BMW dealership, trust me... Harly Wax. A tin lasts ages too as its like boot polish.

Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber care for the tires and the dash plastics, and Autoglym Bodywork Shampoo is a good everyday car wash.
 
Wax will fill in swirls in the same way SRP does, but it will last a damn sight longer.

What do you think SRP does that a wax doesn't? There's nothing to stop you using both products together BTW.

SRP being a polish, will "cut" the surface.

Wax being a wax, wont.

For the most part, wax and polish is not interchangeable, they do different jobs.
