    Dont bother is my tip. Over-rated mess that isn't as effective as spraying with a pre-rinse through a pressure sprayer and pressure rinsing off

        What Andy means to say is save yourself hassle and money and buy Bilthamber Surfex HD which you can buy in either a 1L spray bottle:-

        Or a 5L tub:-

          I have the 5l bottle of this and it's great on our cars, common sense though is to apply it to a car that's cool (I know all DS3s are ), as mine is black I either wait for a while after the sun has moved or apply this stuff in the shade from a pressure sprayer and then wash off before it dries.

          I'm very pleased with it

                  Do you use Surfex as a pre cleaner on body work then mate? I thought it was a bit too strong for that, even diluted?

                    I use it diluted as per the instructions on the 5l bottle and it works really well when applied with a pressure sprayer

                      Been using Meguiars Black Wax & White Wax

                      My friend has a mini cooper john cooper works which its black and orange trim looks the nuts!

                      He uses it and the deep wet look you get from it is amazing!

                      Im very impressed with the meguiars but the Dodo juice duriabilty is better and to me just has that better finish with a great shine

                      What do you use??

                        Anything and everything. When doing others cars, the LSP will depend on the color of the paintwork.

                        For your car, which I'm presuming is white from your bio picture, I would use something like Dodo SNH which is a hybrid of a wax and a sealant as shown here on this RRS detail I recently did for a client.

                        For my red car, I am liking Sonax NPT at the moment which is a sealant in a aerosol can.
