Mine won't be getting any of that special treatment, maybe a good polish if it's dry at any point tomorrow. Would be good to park next to yours Phil just to see how much difference all that effort makes :)

[paul_focus]

It better make a difference after all the effort but I guess with new cars it's too noticeable.

I know what u mean 7and half hours last weekend it took me and my arm was killing the next day. It has made a massive difference tho it just needs wiping clean now. And I found that sometimes just needs rinsing n then drying :) going to give it another wax tomorrow if dry. I was told to put two layers of wax on anyone else know bout this? If not sure it won't do it any harm lol

As long as u use the same product of wax for both layers other wise u will get a grease like look to your paint work if u mix wax products Orr could even strip all wax layers that have been built up :)

Yer exactly the same one got loads left. So I should too for the money I paid haha. Oh got a tip for anyone getting Halfords products on 3for2 make sure they scan the most expensive products 1st. Cause just read my receipt and u get the cheapest from that 3 free :) luckily I did this. I always thought say u buy like 12 products u get the 4 cheapest products free but obviously not haha

Yeah with new cars there shouldn't be much in it. I bet if the 2 cars were much older it would be really easy to tell which ones have been properly cleaned. It's pretty hard to make a 3 month old car look bad anyway, that's what I'm counting on, I'm a bit lazy when it comes to cleaning :)

And yeah I would think 2 layers of wax / polish would be good. Think of how people get really shiny shoes, it's just layer after layer of polish.

[paul_focus]

Well u could see the diff between mine and yours mate mines 11yo and u wouldn't think it :p

I've given mine a good clean and now the weather seems dry so time to get it polished before it rains again, and maybe hoover it out if I can be bothered.

[nath.mk7.st]

My grandads gone away so I might go take his car out in the rain leaving me room to do all mine in the garage. Then claim his garage roof must be leaking haha
