No need to wash the car??!!

So you'll be mainly smearing dirt all over it. Meaning scratches/swirls etc.

Avoid dude!

Shopping channel special. TBH.


My gf's dad has some in his shed so i thought i would give it a go. Not on the main car but it was alright for the little bits like engine bay and the door shuts. As there was no water involved.

Dont get me wrong im a pretty avid detailer but i thought it was pretty good for the parts i dont really care about

Don't use it as they recommend i.e. to clean dirt off! (refer to Daniels comment). Use it to top up wax (when the cars clean) then its realy good stuff. Not used it myself but the old man's Honda looks the tits and he swears by it, same with my mate who has a mk1 Golf

I've seen this stuff being sold and they claim it's a bit clevererer than that. I wouldn't mind finding out a bit more too.

ive used it (not on my current car) and to be honest its pretty good stuff, never left any swirls that i noticed. never used it if the car was too gritty but everyday road grime is gone in seconds. best idea is get some good microfibres, one for applying and another for final buff, and spray on the car rather than the cloth. and start off where you already sprayed so your not rubbing the dry dirt in. sounds and looks like the usual b/s gimmick but does genuinely work well.
Make sure you still use a good quality wax every now and then though as doesnt seem to last as long protection wise. ie water beading.
 
Is it not just a bit like a quick detailer? You are only suposed to use those if the cars only a tiny bit dirty.

Yes!^ My mates dad has a show lorry and uses this stuff as a polish more than a cleaner. It does a really good job and i would say is better than most detailers!

I've had something like this and it actually said spray and wipe. Then polish up With the other cloth. No need to wash the car before hand. Obviously washed the car first tho. It did work well
 
  Not got a car
This is actually good stuff, Its ok with the odd bit of dirt on the car but obviously you cant clean a car with it when its covered it thick mud. I did buy some along time ago when it first come out on the shopping channel. Its a good detailer for after wash's and its good for the summer months for getting off dust when you car is clean underneath if you know what I mean.

I wouldnt use it on a car that has been driving around for a week or two in the rain. Cant beat soap and water.

What else its good at is tar and bird dump.

how the f*ck is it abit cleverer than that?!

Dirt on Car + cloth = swirls and scratches!!

do not use this crap unless the paint is 100% clean! Wait until the sun comes out and look at your car after you've used this, then enjoy paying a detailer £100+ to get it sorted! rather take my car the poles than do that to my car and im anal about cleaning!
