Bugger the car - it's being sold to my sister and I rarely drive it now - had a coat of Collinite just before Christmas so it can sit dirty for the moment

Van's getting washed after pretty much every day atm Good thing it's got 3 coats or so of Collinite and 2 of Jetseal on it

Try using something called Express Wax by Autoglym (think the version they sell in Halfrauds is called Aqua wax) helps to dry the car off nicely

I generaly think a good wash with autoglym car shampoo stuff ive got does it good, its always shiny once cleaned & I know going any further would be wasted with the amount of shit on the roads about here.

Only thing ive done ever is clay bar, but only when I 1st bought the car & only needed to do it once to get the hard stuck on tar deposits off!!
