Nope

but until Fulham did the base work I considered Fairy Liquid a good shampoo

Happy with Swissol and have tried both NXT booster and OCW as a detailing spray

Quick Finish is still as good though

I would like to try Zymol, just to see what all the fuss is about. Miracle say it's the only wax that is very very difficult to remove, and lasts ages. Apparently he can jet wash off ALL PRODUCTS apart from Vintage and Royal.

I think one thing that everybody agrees on whether its Zymoll Royal or Turtle Wax

Prep is the most important thing

Waxing a scratch is going to make it a shiny scratch !!!

The scratchs need polishing out BEFORE hand


Did I get it right ?????
