The carlack is very similar to rain-x but supposed to be better quality

Mr Pinks - If you had to buy just one wax and one sealer for less than 40 squid, what would you go for? Can't justify spending too much. Have you tried Chemical Guys Jetseal at all? Used Autoglym Ultra Deep Shine polish / wax followed by Extra Gloss Protection at the weekend. Seemed good compared with the Zymol stuff I used to use. Am I best sticking with this? |

I've not really looked into sealers

Cheers - Will be buying some of that Carlack stuff before the Winter sets in proper. Also, forgive the ignorance, what's the difference between polish and wax? Should you have both? |

Polish has abrasives that you use to give the paint a nice finish by either leaving micro particles behind in the fine swirls(fillers) or they have micro abrasives which will polish out the swirls/scratchs from the paint

I think I will be trying some of the Carlack too. Looks pretty impressive. Rain-ex is good at first but wears off quickly, especially once the dreaded salt hits the roads. |

If your fancying the glass sealant also look into nanolex or GTechniq Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis |

Talking about polishes, what's the hardness of the paint like on Freelanders? Is it hard like BMW or softer like Jap stuff? I'd quite like to find out before taking my DA to it |

Cool, useful information and a classy double entendre. Two birds with one stone

Just home from a trip, Friday night and all, and I thought I'd order some of Mr Pink's Carlack wonder stuff. But, no! He has had the Delia effect (Delia Smith et al), in that saying nice things about the product, results in a sudden rush, and much trampling of feet, it is sold out! Pffft.
