Hi Andy,
The best finish for the least effort... 2 layers of collinite wax (from www.cleanyourcar.co.uk) after washing a few squirts of megs quick detailer before you dry repeat when you need to! this finish will last for at least 6 months. Diamondbrite is a tougher version of Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection (well, much of a muchness!) |

I often wash my cars using the shampoo & conditioner which gives a very good result but you must mix the conserver in the water properly otherwise it will smear. Most car shampoo's are much the same to be honest & when I do a Diamondbrite application I allways explain to the customer how to use the aftercare pack & state that it is a years supply assuming it is used once a month. I go on to say that if you are like me & want to wash the car more often then use any shampoo from Halfords etc but NEVER go to the cheap drive in or automated car wash services. Replacement aftercare packs can be purchaced from Jewelultra Diamondbrite at £15.99. To assist in the drying of the car I would recomend using the Autoglym red flexi-blade which is also £15.99.

I would spend the money on a double pack of sonus waffle weave drying towels. (and even then there is a technique to drying!) IMHO diamondbrite and the like is just a gimmick, a decent sealant/wax applied every few months and washed with a good quality shampoo will give a much better finish. |

The main bonus with the Diamondbrite product is the guarantee/warranty. You won't get this from a normal polish which won't nessesarialy give any better results plus the Diamondbrite scotchgaurds the interior & you can't get this from a car spares shop. Technically it's an insurance policy for your car's well-being!! |
