shznazzle, look at the difference on the road. The nightbreakers aren't brighter, but have far more range on the road at night.

Just washed the car intensely. Although I skipped out a VERY much needed de-tarring. Couldn't be bothered with the useless tar remover I have.

- Washed it 2x per panel with two bucket method
- alloys cleaned
- windows waxed with Turtle Wax Ice
- trim blackened
- waxed using (a new tip!!):

The third stage.

This stuff is amazing!! Beautiful beading, amazing shine, and soooo easy to apply and buff off.

Only down side is that it doesn't last too long. But for 11.95 off eBay for a big bottle....

Use a microfibre cloth wettened with petrol woth a little bit of wd40 on it! It'll wipe all tar straight off! But you need to polish ans wax it once youve dpne it because itll take all products off

...F**K ALL

Lesson learned. Waste of 13quid. I should have learned last time when it made little to no diff.
Mind the pics have the "Backlit" filter on from Tapatalk 2, it brought out the differences more.



Sould have bought the Halfords Ultra Brilliance H7's mate, far better than the Osrams :D
