Is that the guy from miracle detail? (suspect i should say)

Cant be the worlds best can he, he used a sponge!!!

As for the £6k tub of wax, its the Zymol stuff that is a lifetime supply for that price.

Its great how people talk telephone numbers and people pay it because its expensive therefore it must be the best.

What a load of ****

Gotta go to work about 2pm so hopefully feel a bit better by then.

You guys were quick to poke fun at me lol

Theres a whole host of guys on DW that think this Zymol guy is a jockey.

I've said it a thousand times that you can get as good if not better results with much much cheaper products.

Theres far too much hype around Zymol/Swissol created by clever marketing.

I rest my case

IMHO there may be hype surrounding the high end brands, but speaking from my experience of using swissol I have to say that it gives me a better finish on my cars than I have ever had using the so called 'cheaper brands'.

And believe me I have had plenty of cars and different waxes/cleaning products in my time spent driving so far.

That's my opinion and not having used meguiars or the stuff that polished bliss sell am open to other views, and may well try meguiars when my swissol runs out, but feel it would take a very good product to tip the balance for me.

Although it may be the clear buckets that are making the difference

Wasn't poking fun at you mate!! Just highlighting what was featured on 5th Gear

and I thought you said you there was no bitching over there

I noticed that he used a rotary polisher so any marks created by using a sponge and one bucket would have been removed anyway

Live and let live

UPDATE Craig Mudd SIDC Show Organiser won best in england for his engine detailling at the Donny Show
he was only 1/2 a mark behind the Best in Show !!
