Last weekend I also got the first polish in of the year!

For the first time I have used a polish, glaze and sealant from Chemical Guys and I was amazed how good the result was.....

I'll keep an eye out for Collinite 476. I'm a big fan of Poorboy's Natty Blue mind, it is superb stuff on dark colours.

I find AutoGlym's Engine & Machine Cleaner is the best thing for cleaning brake dust off alloys and it's good for use on lower bodywork panels to shift heavy dirt and staining too.

autoglyms intensive tar remover is also very good for alloys and paintwork. i was a bit aprehensive at first as it on my r25 as i didnt no how the paintwork and alloy surface would react to the cleaner, so i tried it on a hidden area first and the results were astonishing! lifted the heavy dirt, tree sap and tar straight off. alloys and paintwork looked brand new once more!

I agree that EGP's a good product, I used it on my car last year after a good claying & super resining & the shine's still pretty good though it's getting ready for a good post winter sort out

Car Pride Hard Wax. £1.99 from the pound shop (does that mean I have been over charged) as good as anything.
