Well for experience tomorrow night will be far far to late. the paint gets a surface oxidisation within about 4-6 hours of claying a car and if you park it near a tree or heaven forbid a bird craps on it then your in trouble. I mean i know the megs kit uses detailer spray which does give some protection but i cannot stress enough how important it is to follow up with a good light polish and then either a wax or better still a wax and sealant. With a decent sealant you can almost get away with just washing it and then twice a year re-applying the wax and sealant. that way there is nothing for the crap to bond to.

That is niiiiice.

I have a few free evenings now for a change so i'm trying to get a few things like this done when i have the chance. Front calipers were tonight - only had the paint about a year.

It is definatly the best thing i have ever bought for my car.... Super smooth paintwork is an under-statement when i used it.

No problem carl. i have to say that washing and detailing the car is a love hate for me. I hate when you get to the mid point of cleaning and arm hurts etc but it is always worth it when you step back and see the end result.
