It does look pretty effective but I don't think it's any quicker than giving the car a quick wash the old fashioned way.

I still believe it's a good solution where water isn't easily available but I don't see it as a time saver


 For a free country, it does seem pretty expensive these days.

Cheers NP, I will buy some next week and give it a go! Ralph

I know what you mean, but by the time I had got the Pressure washer out, snowfoamed, rinsed, washed, tar remover use, washed, pressure rinsed, dried, sealed, wheels done it was 2.5 hours later

Quite quick for me  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Oh I agree, I have the same convoluted process but if the car only has a 'weeks worth of dust and light dirt' like in that video, then I just give a quick hose down, wash then rinse and dry.

Where it probably does become a time saver is not having to follow up the drying stage with sticking a microcloth in the gaps to stop the tears from the trapped water. No matter how well I dry a car, by the time I've put all the stuff away, there'll be a rogue stream of water somewhere  For a free country, it does seem pretty expensive these days.

Use your Leaf blower to blow them out then  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Hmmmm, never thought of that Though, to be fair, not having a leaf blower does mean it wouldn't immediately spring to mind  For a free country, it does seem pretty expensive these days.

I do have a rake but I think that'll do more harm than good For a free country, it does seem pretty expensive these days.

This is what I'm talking about!!

Just received my proshine spray and shine, got to say only only done half the car but works really well.  Don't put petrol in a diesel. They don't run well.

show room shine by grease lightning is good,made in bridgend by the way, but not as good as smartone by smartwax,plus the smartone dont turn the black plastic bits eg lamp gaurds,bump side strips,window rubber,a off white colour if u get a bit of over spray on them.ive used both these products on both my black and ipanima sand fl2s and they great,only wipe first one way to lift dirt,then use a new clean cloth/micro fibre to finally shine is a must.works on glass if glass is cool,but dont do wind screen,  Current: Freelander 2 GS, Orkney Grey, Factory fit privacy glass, design pack and Clearview pack.

well i ordered my Optimum No Rinse the other day 32oz bottle so i will report my findings once i have used it

Could resisted using the P&P to order a few other items whilst there too, so i got my Iron X (a powerfull Iron filings and contaminate cleaner), Valet Pro Orange Traffic Film Remover (for pre rinsing, prior to washing) and from another shop i order 3x Large fluffy drying towels for use with the ONR and drying the car

Are the iron filings a product of the pollution you would get from an industrial area? We don't get that in Worcestershire cos all the bl y industries have gone bust!  Ralph
