Well time really flies and although my car's a 54 plate and is lovingly washed and cared for, there comes a time when all car bodies must be lavished with wax.
So, spotting a 1/2 hour 'window' in the weather before the rain, I decided to use my new Swissol kit - bought via the fundraising group buy from our friend John Wintle at the back end of 2004.
It's been sitting looking at me for some time, begging me to give it some airtime.
So, I did the honourable thing and got the car washed and dry.....then on with the first step.
Working on half the roof at a time, I used the cleaning oil and followed the words of wisdom to the letter.
The paint did indeed 'squeak'!
Next, i applied a very small amount of my Onyx polish to the pad, and buffed it into the paintwork which was just achingly receptive to the slick stuff.
I would have been surprised at how easy the wax went on, if i hadn't already been forewarned.....and the micro-fibre cloth took the excess off with similar ease.
A further quick buff on the 'dry' side of the cloth.......then a couple of steps back to admire the lustre......WOW!!!
This stuff is seriously, seriously good.........
If you're thinking of putting ?15 wax on a ?20k car, forgettit!
Work the numbers and buy a wax that the car deserves.
?75 for this kit may sound like a chunk of your wedge but the wax should last for as much as 5-years due to how little you need.
In a word - AWESOME!
