    Wonder how dusty it will be.. Wink I'd say Zymol pricing ? Why has it taken them forty years to produce it too !?  I'll be sticking with P21s, personally.

    Ive just got myself some of this,just trying to find a dry day to do the T5 with it. Im expecting it to be good,my Autoglym rep's 06 white Sprinter looked absolutely stunning when he turned up last week-he'd polished it with HD Wax that weekend. I'll report back when ive done mine. I need a shiney van,i own a valeting company!EmbarrassedBig SmileCheers,Paul.

    First report for the HD Wax....Awesome! Did the T5 on saturday afternoon,and it looks fantastic. Polshed it first wit AG Radiant Wax Polish(Supetr Resin),then went over it with the HD,using the sponge applicator provided. Left it on for about 15 mins,and polished off with AG microfibre cloth,and it comes off so easy,took about 10 mins(VW T5 remember!). The results are excellent,highly recommended hereYes Cheers,Paul.

    Had this applied by my local valeting chap yesterday in conjunction with a lifeshine PDI kit off eBay... looks good andthe chap said it was very good stuff (he is not AG biased) but did say it took quite some removing...

    mmmm, I'm not convinced by it.

    I'd like to give it a go though, but not for £39.99 Sad

     

    I did just buy a pot of DODO Super Natural though, cant get enough of the Dodo Yes

    Do you have any photos?

    Better still does any one who owns this fancy doing a 50/50 on their bonnet with a competitor product?

    Didnt manage to get any pics,as it was just starting to go dark by the time id finished messing about with alloys and finishing stuff off. I was/still am genuinely impressed with this product,and would definately recommend trying it. In contrast to what has been mentioned in a previous post,i found it very easy to remove HD using the AutoGlym microfibre cloth supplied. Possibly putting too much wax on will result in it being more difficult to remove?, although i found it very easy to use. The applicator sponge must be damp also,maybe this was overlooked,and made a difference perhaps? Next time i use it,ill try and get some picsYesCheers,Paul.

    I've bought some of this wax, and used it on my diamond black mk4 today. Looked fantastic once I'd done. ...But then it started snowing!

     My local car/motorbike shop sells the kit for £30. I usually use Meguiars NXT wax, but thought for £30 I'd give it a go.

     A little wax goes a long way. I've done the whole car, and hardly made a dent in the top of the pot. If I can get 30 waxes from the pot, that means its only £1 a wash! Yes

     I'll post some photos as soon as the weather decides to change! Hmm

    It's not in leics strictly, it's in Oakham, a shop called BATS. I think they have a couple of pots left. I work in syston though, and I'm in Leicester almost every day, so I could bring some over for you, if you wanted.

    No worries dude,

     http://www.batstyres.co.uk/

    That's the shop, it's in Oakham, up by the railway station.

    It's a bit out of the way, so If you turn into the road that runs inbetween Oakham Tyres and the Station, carry on up the road, past Travis Perkins, then you'll drive onto block paving. Its the second turning on the right, right at the end next to the pallet yard.  Regards, Chris

    EDIT - Been to the shop today. Unfortunately he's sold out of the wax that he had. He's getting some more in soon, but he doubts it will be before Saturday. Apologies, Chris

    Ah, you Rutlanders!!!  Always thought it was BK Rollinson up there...(EDIT just looked it up and looks like it is Rollinson's )

    If you are ever in Stamford pop to Motorworld and ask for Andy (fairly chap who runs the place) always looked after me and my friends

    Had my Hd off the bay for 29.99 and managed to get some on the car today with what i would say at a first thought to be VERY good stuff.

    STILL i think either P21´s or DODO it is for me

    I have used it, it is hard to remove compared to most decent waxes, a bit like grease lol.

    £32 for Dodo Juice(very good) or £39.99 for Autoglym(ok), hard decisionBig Smile
