Been using Topaz with great results for the last couple of years but the 1 litre bottle I had had run out and can only get 5 litre bottles on line. What do people recommend as an alternative after washing?

There used to be plenty of Ebay sellers splitting them into Litres, however if you've used it all, why not buy the 5L?

IIRC I paid about 13 for a litre, next time I'll buy 5L for £30..

Ah, but nothing to stop you, me and Kev from splitting 5L, so getting it for £6/L :)

In fact - I've just called the local Autosmart guy, and he's popping around to our shop this afternoon to set me up an account..
