At that price Tiny would be sticking it on the car so you all could see it as his new mod.

Polishing is a broad term for a range of processes that either remove or mask exterior paint defects and dramatically increase surface gloss in preparation for the addition of wax or sealant protection. In this section you will find a range of products designed to either remove or mask sub-surface defects such swirl marks and scratches, plus a range of accessories for machine polishers.

Once cleaned and polished, painted surfaces require protection against the elements in order to preserve the quality of the finish. Such protection comes in the form of either natural carnuba waxes or synthetic sealants, which offer varying degrees of gloss, reflectivity, slickness and durability. In this section you will find a range of the finest last step products available on the market today.

oh I appreciate the finer things but cleaning cars pisses me off because as soon as you get in from a few hours of driving it the blasted thing is dirty again. Hence me not caring about spending top dollar on car cleaning equip. Would rather buy a set of Adidas Y3s and bling it up that way.

If you got a good deal then that is a different matter. Me personally I wouldn't spend more than a score on a single car cleaning product. The car still looks the bollocks when it's clean.

Although I do appreciate that some like to spend lots on keeping their cars in perfect condition - and it does show when you put em side by side with somebody that doesn't really care.

I thought the exact same way until Mr Swissol finally talked me into it.

He did the hard work with wash down, shampoo, clay bar, cleaning fluid, pre wax and final wax.

Now the car is so easy to clean (when I can actually be arsed to) the dirt falls off with a wash and a new layer of wax can be added in 10 minutes and left - the longer I leave it the deeper the colour - its truly amazing and if I hadnt seen it first hand I would never believe it. then a 5 minute wipe off and job done. - Result: as per pics above.
