Bilt- Hamber

I have just bought a tin of Bilt-Hamber Fins Wax of E bay.

I have never used it before, so has anyone tried it and what's their opinion on this product ?

I use it Graham, you need to really prep the paint first, then use the wax, let it dry, then polish it off, good stuff

If it is anything like the rest of their range (I use their anti-rust stuff) then it will be excellent.

deleted, mistook what you said. I have no experience of this product in fact sorry

Update on the Finis wax, I have polished most of the Rover and it is very good, excellent shine and fairly easy to buff off.

With a waterless polish you don't need to wash! I have just done one of mine with 1C showing, and it only took 15 minutes, excluding all the black plastic bits.

-2.5 here and no way am I tempted to do it it's more the fact of getting the hose and power washer and extension out and set up
