cheers... what is the best way to apply the wax?

[Steves Cleenz]

with the zymol waxes you just apply it with a sponge applicator and take it off straight away, dont let it go off, but with some of the more expensive ones you have to apply it using you hands, basicly melt some of the wax in the palm of your hand and massage it into the paint using your palms

[carl-mgzs]

good good, already brought a sponge applicator in anticipation of this!take it off with a microfibre cloth?? sorry for all the questions

[carl-mgzs]

Can we have a pic of it today? ;)

Was nice when it was clean though.

the road salt had fudged it all up this morning, but will be repeating the cleaning process on sunday morning so will put better pictures up then

[Steves Cleenz]

[carl-mgzs]

Good work there bud. As for the crazy prices, well out of the 25 off units they only have 5 remaining. I find those prices hard to believe.
