if you have a black car you can't beat a good clay, a bit of poorboys blackhole polish and then a couple of coats of collinite 476...

Did mine the other day - not bad for 4 yr old car!

Hi CW
Do you use a machine polisher, I have been using the Blackhole polish and don’t seem to get mush shine (by hand ) used some AG Super Resin polish last week and the results are much better, agree with the clay bar, surprising when look at what it brings off .

This was done by just hand polishing it... never used AG SR so can't compare but I have always got good results with the Blackhole.

I dont know if it makes any difference but mine is solid black (not metallic) an so the BH combined with Colly seams to give it a deep, rich type of shine, compared to say if it was metallic where it my dull the flecks bit  Freelander 2 TD4 Auto, SE, Narvik Black, Alpaca full leather, Rear Headrest Entertainment System, 6 CD, 18 HSE Wheels, Privicy tints

Black is very difficult to clean. I had a black 110 defender and it was a nightmare, mainly because of all the little rivets and different panels! I found AG products the best, and using a decent shampoo help. It's very rewarding when done but it use to cost me a fortune in cleaning products as the car was huge!

Hey Toeknee, I noticed a rather nice looking gun dog in your gallery, I'm thinking about getting one! Did you have yours from a pup and was / is it mental  Freelander 2 TD4 Auto, SE, Narvik Black, Alpaca full leather, Rear Headrest Entertainment System, 6 CD, 18 HSE Wheels, Privicy tints

Hi CW
No he’s not mental he’s Super Mental , he’s called Sprocket and we have had from a pup, he will be 8 in August, quite headstrong at times and still not 100% trained, he’ll recall 99% of the time but he can be a when other dogs are about, he’s just a bit nosey and suffers from selective deafness.
We originally got him to work but a change of work meant I could not put the time in with him and he became a house dog and he loves every minute of it. He has a great temperament and love kids and people and will be your best friend if you either throw his ball or feed him.

Below is photo taken this morning, he’s just come out of a pond in Silton Woods after 10 minutes of deafness

Has anyone tried Demon Shine yet? Does it work as well as it is supposed to? Obviously the car has to be clean before you pour it on. Poke it, Poke it, make it do it again!!

There's nothing more intelligent than a dog who get's humans to provide food on demand and has selective deafness when having fun - 10 minutes in the pond, before turning with that cheesy grin and suddenly recognising your commands! Who's the real master?

only deaf for 10 minutes, thats a well trained dog, our little can be deaf for hours especially near rabbit holes At work
