mphgoose Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 A true petrol head! Haha. I know what you mean though, theres no greater pleasure than driving something you have put so much effort into and just knowing it means so much more to you than any of the boring businessman boxes on the road. It doesnt have to be the fastest or the most expensive, its just yours and you love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James827 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Top work! Do you use The full range of AG products? or just them two? & What wax do you use? + shampooif you don't mind me asking or does a Magician not tell his secrets?

Adam R4 Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Haha. I do use a lot of Auto Glym products. The polishes and exterior cleaners really work well with this paint colour.I actually use Simoniz wax free shampoo then Simoniz classic wax in the gold tin. Love the stuff, can't fault it, prefer it over other leading brands tbh. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 an interesting Coincidence..i happen to use the same shampoo (Got it for Christmas, i like the smell too!)and i have a tin of that wax in my little Collection of cleaning items..(Interchange between this and Purple Haze)i also use the SRP and Glass polish By AG.I like the Simoniz wax too, Need strong Arms to buff it off afterwards mind! and it is (IMO) prone to smudging and smearing before coming off! But leaves a satisfying sheen afterwards Proof that you don't need to shell out on 5* products to get a 5* FinnishYet to try the interior cleaner, I use the stuff that came with my wet vac, and i use Meguires APC for like wheels and other areas.
