Fair while I think mine is still going and doesnt look too dirty. I assume when its dirty you chuck it. Comes with a lil case to keep it in.

I just used the megs wax that came with the kit, seemed to work ok on smoke grey. Although if you have a different wax im sure it will work just as well if not better

plus by the time i finished teh clouds had started to roll in so the effect wasnt as great as it was when i was halfway done. the aerial really should go all together, it never gets used


Autoglym Super Resin is definitely better than the Meguires Wax Polish that you get in the kit, although granted the SRP needs a proper wax on top to protect it and keep it looking good.

Ive binned the Wax Polish that i got in my clay kit last year.

the only way you will get rid of bad swirls is through machine polishing.

although using Super Resin Polish, it may hide some of the swirls as it has filling agents that fill the small swirl scratches and make them look like they have gone.
