    Best "Halfords" tar remover.

    Learnt 2 things today!

    1 It does not matter how good a wax you have on the car, if you leave bugs to bake on for 2 (summer)months then they are bloody hard to get off! 2 RaceGlaze Clay is unbelievable poor, it did nothing at all to remove the bug stains and I mean nothing. It did so little that I don't know what I...

    We have all seen vids of the effects of various waxes with water. Most if not all are of the car straight after waxing. Well this is mine after 16 weeks with just 1 layer. Also worth noting this is on the boot which is one of the worst parts for wax degradation...

I have used...

    Took delivery of a silverline rotary polisher early last week. Finally got round to having a little test with it. These are a few iPhone shots that show how easy it is to get an improved finish using just a 3m finishing pad and Swisswax Cleaner Fluid Pro. To get this finish with a DA would...

    This month my car is entered in Vertar's Car Of The Month competition. I would really appreciate your votes, a lot of time went into this car when I got it.
