Tried out my new topaz polish today in between the rain showers, it's easy to apply with no white residue on the black trim and buffed off easily for a lovely finish

I got an autosmart sponge thrown in with my polish, I washed & dried the car then applied using the freeby sponge.
Really surprised at how far it went, waited until it had dried & it buffed off with no agro using a dry microfibre.
I don't think it's going to remove any swirls but it's left a nice wax coating that's beaded lovely now it's rained

I'd say it was well worth the money

You can just see the sponge behind the polish

Nice work Marlon. You could eat your dinner off it !

I detailed mine again recently. So pleasing when you open the bonnet to check the oil etc.

You've got a nice shiny gloss finish on the front section there Patriot

how did you manage that?

Cheers Marlon.

It's so easy. On a cool engine spray a light mist of Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber Care on all the plastics and rubber. Leave it 5 mins, wipe off the excess. This gives a satin sheen. If you want more gloss then spray again but don't wipe it over. It's also great on any interior trim that you may want to rejuvenate, and makes your wheel arch liners look black and glossy too.

I dragged the car out into the daylight to see what the new wheels looked like. I've got to say I do like them. I'm semi tempted to fit a 5mm spacer to the rear but I'm happy with how it's transformed the look.

Hope you left yours there for a while so he would be jealous when he came back. Especially if you left the top down
