I bought one of these a while back and tested it on a small area and thought it was shit!
But been out ther for hours tonight cleaning the car , and that followed by super resin has it looking its best ever.
It has made the paint so smooth and taken off loads off tar etc.
If you don't have one , get one

It is worthwhile but i ended up picking at some tar spots with a finger nail. Probably best to use the bar with some tar remover aswell.

Best to use tar and glue remover on any actual spots of tar Reedy, then rewash the car and go over it a panel at a time with the bar and the spray detailer that comes with it.

I think I paid about 18 quid for the bar and a bottle of detailer if I remember correctly H.
Worth every penny though. It actually takes over spray off too.
It's the best thing i've ever used on paintwork and i've used a lot of different products over the years.
I wish i'd found this stuff years ago.
The bonnet of my Merc went like sand paper from sitting outside on the street for nearly ten months.
I washed one half of the car twice with Zymol shampoo and then used the bar on half of the bonnet.
CHRIST ON A BIKE! It came up like enamel, it realy is amazing stuff.
I did half the bonnet and the N.S. wing top of the Zed too. The wing had a realy weird flat area on it, presumably some sort of paint fault or overspray.
I bought the bar as a last ditch attempt to try and remedy it before approaching a body shop, and realy didn't think it could possibly work, but thought i'd give it a try in a sceptical sort of way.
Within minutes the wing felt like a bit of lead crystal, and I was nearly doing sommersaults in the front garden over the money and agro i'd saved myself.
When I have the time (3 days probably) and can be arsed, i'm going to do all of the Zed and the Merc, and i'm looking forward to seeing what it can do for the Turbo.
She should come up like a little lump of polished Jet bless her.

Not sure Mark, it might be worth giving it a try on an area that isn't too obvious just in case.
It isn't abrasive, but does seem to pull all foreign matter off of the paint effortlessly.

It is actually enjoyable to use (well I thought so), I don't like washing cars as It's a real pain in the arse at my house, and I get soaked and covered in crap.
However, I don't mind polishing as there is a certain satisfaction to be had from waxing your car when it's already clean and dry.
Using this stuff is even better in my opinion as it is very tactile and easy to use, and it requires less effort than polishing, plus the end results are more obvious and impressive in most cases.

No you don't
Now is the best time Jimbo.
You can clean and polish all the bits that are usually full of bumper and engine etc.
