My car came absolutely covered in bird poo and hadn't been cleaned for months and I cleaned and polished it the day after I got it and this was the result.

I have bought some good wax paste and I must admit it is very very good. The stuff I use from now on is called Harley wax No1 Yellow canuba wax quite cheap as well considering, bought from the bay of E, best £18 I have spent. Best stuff I have used on my car and also used it on my caravan as well, the results are outstanding  8-) 8-) really brings the colour out of the car and gives a very good, almost if not like, show room finish.

Sorry I don't have any pictures yet but I will post some up when I have washed and waxed the car at the weekend.

Beware Some E-bay sellers re bottle some wax and just mark it up as top quality wax.....

Im going to be detailing mine inside and out soon and will list up what i use including a very clever mix of 2 waxes thst will save you time and money and still get the result your after.... :y

well this is going to be a short one from me - I can't even have washed the Bentley more than twice in the five years i've owned it, so the Omegas have no chance.
