    Auto Finesse prototype wax

    A while back I had mentioned that I had received a prototype sample that is due to be released in 2013. Not sure if this will be part of or after the Autosport Show product release.

    Envirocare shampoo and QD spray

    just a quick review on the above as i4d had them reduced. 2oz of shampoo in a 5gallon i4d bucket made a good mixture and gave plenty of suds with just an open end hose to set the mind at ease. Process felt nice, slick and well lubricated over very dusty panels with plenty of bug juice and tree...
