I find a £1 bucket from Wickes and a 49p sponge from Tesco is fastest of all.

Purchased some German made Polymer shield for £16 which was supposed to give a 'showroom shine' for 6 months. It did look good immediately after it was applied.......but I have not used any since, and that was 2 years ago. I think I'm coming down with a nasty case of CBA. :)

Would this be the same garage where the 12 illegals sleep and pay £100 rent each week....... ::)

I put the Mondeo through the car wash on Saturday and it cost me the princely sum of £7!  ::)

It did look nice though, but 2 days later it was covered in dust and the shitehawks had shat all over it!  :(  ::)

Ours get the wheels sprayed with the brake dust remover, snowfoamed  and then it all gets jet washed off.

No idea how well it works compared to other methods, but I get some childish entertainment value out of it, so that's what matters.  :y
