Id waited nearly 2 weeks for my bottles n clothes to come so didn't clean the car in this time the alloys were pretty much black... but low n behold the daft ass city link driver just dumped my package at the front without telling me so wen I found it this morning it was the first job of the day. I paid £30 for 2 1ltr bottles and 4 clothes and ive used hardly anything at all so im guessing these bottles will last a fair while.
I was a bit shocked how well it removed the bird dung too... but the only downside is the flake like dandruff that sticks to ur roof so I would suggest doing it with the roof down if weather allowing.

value 10/10
took me all of 25-30 min

would defo recommend.

I've been using it for a couple of years, and wouldn't use anything else now. So easy to use as has been said, 30 mins. to do the whole car. Doesn't leave any white on any black trim (door handles, washer jets). But does over spray on the last panel you've just done, but easy to wipe off.

The only downside is it doesn't bead that well and is not very resilient compared to other waxes, upside is its so easy to apply and buff off thats its not a chore to apply on a regular basis and gives good reflective results for little effort :)

hi guys just a small tip i have found in my detailing travels.
try meguires last touch detailing spray comes in a 3.78L container costs £30. ( so works out cheeper)
works the same as showroom shine only 10x better use the same way with microfibre cloth.
can be used stright out the bottle or 1 part water to last touch
give it a go it works very well

I use the last touch detailer and it's excellent.

like many members sent of for my free sample? never arrived so spent £16 on a bottle, have tried it on my black X3 it was ok, would I try it on my Black Zed yes but only as a touch-up detailer
in my opinion not as good as they claim, once you have a clean car using a normal Carnuba wax takes about the same amont of time to wipe on and then wipe off, and the wax gives a better / deeper colour finish,
would I recommend it, its OK for a quick clean of a washed car, being my Zed is black I would not use it on a un-washed car with grit particles lying on paint work? you pay your money and takes your chance's?
