    mentioned loads of times mainly by me and if you see it on ideal world you may see my car displayed.

    I have always used it but bought some collinite and saw no difference in finish (CliveP will disagree,lol)

      yeh got mine from ideal world,,, used it a while.. did mine today with showroom shine. glad someone else thinks its good.. did play with super resin polish from autoglyn but too much like hard work when the finish achieved from showroom shine is just as good.

          Lol! That's because any wax is only as good as the prep under it! So to see the benefit of the wax you have to prep the car properly. Even Z.Royale Wax at £7000 won't look any better than any cheap wax if it's applied to a non-prepped car. If applying Royale I'd probably prepare the DS3 by machine polish for at least ten hours.....and love every minute of it!

          But my cleaning isn't about cleaning, it's about OCD!

          Regards,

                    4 months on and paintworks still as crisp as the day i sorted it after the twonk from citroen that washed the car after i told them not to. as it went in for a paint touch up to remove some blemishes on the front bumper. ie it went in clean came back as if it ad been to bagdad. that was a nice relaxing 4n half hours for me lol

                      Pokertit,
                      just done my white dsport+ with showroom shine, no water, looks well,also windows and beltones looks a treat.
                      was sceptical at first

                        hi Clemm...

                        did mine as well today took me an hour to do all and comes out looking very good when finished. gonna give collenite476 a go as per Clivep says it is good stuff to use. i have loads of polish and wax etc from all different company's (no where as much OCD as Clivep) and find showroom shine easier.. but still feel the need to try another one

                          Gents,

                          Despite my OCD I recognise is all that matters is people are happy with the results they get themselves! Anyone wanting to meet sometime for a 'group detail' though I'm all up for it!

                          Regards,
                          Clive.
