Small update - Been buying bits to do a decent winter protection on the car , and they arrived today ![](/board/images/smile/smile.gif)
![](http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x323/Nath_r/P1010366.jpg)
New Chemical Guys MF cloths , Autosmart Tardis , IronX , Bilt Hamber Clay , New Tyre swipe as my ones buggered , Auto Finesse Wax Mate as my current foam applicator is about 9 times the size of the wax pot , and last but not least a new CarPro CQuartz wash mitt ! I know some of them arent winter protection related , just needed some bits replacing . These products will be used along side my normal wash routine on the weekend along with a few coats of glaze and a couple coats of wax to seal it all up for the winter .
Should hopefully get it all done on the weekend .

Iron x is great stuff but it bloody stinks! Also have you tried prima amigo? It's a great glaze, gives a new depth to the paint.

Good man , remember it works even better if you layer it and make sure you wax over the top .

I've got two different waxes.
Some paste wax by Turtle wax and some meg's spray on stuff in the black bottle.
Which would you use?
Missing my turini's now ![](/board/images/smile/sad.gif)
These pro races are doing my head in, make the car look proper chavvy

If I was you I'd buy some other wax but use the turtle wax one . Would probably do a better job at sealing the glaze in rather than a "spray" one .
Ah get them back on then dude . I'm bored of the D90s tbh . On the look out for some Comps again . Hopefully I can find someone that will swap with me
