Couple of days ago following Zedfest. Sealant applied prob 2 weeks ago, no wax (need to apply it too regularly for me) and the rain effectively washes it every few days. Would be more often if I lived in Lancashire :wink: :poke:

Ha! Fair enough, looked (and still looks) fine on my phone! It's probably something to do with the way I'm feeding the coal into my phone or something like that... :thumbsup:
