wow i have just finished the wax wizard treatment and WOW what a totally amazing shine.
Think took a bit long this first time round but it is worth it for the look.
Thanks to Mark (Wax Wizard) for his help on the phone.

having uses the WW products and waxed the car a couple of weeks ago, I came to wash it today, wasn't going to wax. Washed the car with water and sponge only and it looks superb. All the mdirt came off very easily and there wasn't the usual number of baked on bugs across the front of the bonnnet. WW is great and I worship the clay bar.

Clay bars look and feel like firm plasticine.
It's designed to be rubbed over the paintwork, similar to a pencil eraser rubbing out pencil, and it will lift off surface rubbish such as tar spots, bird's mess and all number of other things.
It does require a leap of faith the first time you use it, as it's hard to see how it won't scratch the bodywork, but it doesn't.
To be completely fair, it doesn't remove absolutely everything, although i've never pressed it hard enough to prove whether this is true or not to be honest. But i do still find something like Autoglym Tar Remover useful to get rid of really stubborn marks, one of their more useful products.
People who see my car cannot believe how smooth the paint finish is, it's the clay bar that did it. If you want the ultimate finish, you do need to use one. Hope this helps.
As to what products to get;
Cleanser number 2 and Shield wax are probably the two "must haves".
But once you've tried these two, you'll want the entire range, so be prepared for the wallet hit..!! Call Mark Underwood to learn more than you ever dared thought there was to know about car cleaning...!

Yup me too WW stuff is all it's cracked up to be.
I used to swear by Autoglym, but this stuff is much better. It needs a bit more effort to start with though.
No connections etc.

I have to say that I have been generall dissapointed with the finish offered by a variety of liquid "polishes".
After hearing all the WW comments, I tried some bog standard Turtle Wax Emerald, and found it to be great.
I am sure that the WW products could be even better.
Either way, I think that Mer has spawned a range of competition in liquid polishes, and over the years you might think by now that liquid polishes are the way to go, as there all people seem to make.
Proper wax polish is definitely better, just needs a little more effort.
