It pains me to say this too.
£72 for 5 days is what it costs me and the wife's diesel Leon does the same miles for £35 a week

Most garages have deliveries now and the price near me has dropped back to what it was

No worries mate but will warn you choose the right compound for your cars paint or things will go wrong very quickly, go from softer to more harder compound, its all there to be found and get some decent cloths etc

Hi fella,

Will this be okay for a speed blue Leon? Don't want to be wrecking my paintwork, and I've only ever used Tesco's own car shampoo, or Turtle Shampoo.

If there's something you'd recommend over this stuff, please let me know :)

Gracias!

If its the Soap Suds your after i would recommend the Meguiars NXT Gen Wash:

and get some autoglym Super Resin Polish for the polish stage.

Thanks! Is there much difference?
I've never done all the claying, spray foaming etc... Just a good old wash and polish with Autoglym SRP.

Duhhh... I should have recognised that, shouldn't I?
Thanks a lot!
