"4 MONTHS" ?????


You should be stripped of your title and put in the stocks


I clean mine every day, just the bugs and stuff , and give it a proper wash and shammy dry at least once a week

Hang your head in shame .......

How the heck do you find the time to clean it every day? How long does it take? How can you only clean a bit of the car?

Get some Swissol and find out what "shiny" really means, *without* all the pesky white residues Autoglym leaves behind.

Autoglym is good for one thing - appreciating how good all the real car waxes out there are.

Another vote for Swissol here, I just got the teflon wax, did 300 miles, some at night, and still only had two flies stuck on the bonnet!

Cleaned and waxed mine today

30 minutes later it rains and leaves horrible water marks (sandy dirt???!!!) behind.

Why did I bother?!

Had the same problem today. Washed, waxed, rained... life sucks. But then again, it makes washing next time a doddle.
