Been using this stuff for a while now does a good job with the recommended brush (but i'm sure any brush will do)

It's an odd looking thing ain't it  ;D ...one review stated the top part came/broke off after 10 min use  :-\

In terms of removing general marks and dirty stains it proved to be very good. However, it is a bit flimsy and the plastic cover that you press for operation broke off after 10 minutes. The top end also snapped off and had to be replaced on a number of occasions. However, it didn't affect the overall performance but if you pay for a product you would expect all the functionality to work well.

I've always found the auto glym foaming cleaner and a few decent rags does a good enough job, just the foam seems to come out more on your hand than out the nozzle! But then I haven't really tried anything else lol
