    Yeah depending on kilometers done and the weather but at best it's normally around 2 weeks if you're lucky. You don't get an extremely high level of shine but I tried that paint on stuff once that gives show car quality but in less than a week it was peeling badly and you could never get rid of it all and was just generally awful.
    The wipes are good because it's quick and easy and they're relatively cheap to buy.

    Have been using Mothers for the leather trim with good results. Been using A-all iside for longer than I would like to admit, and the Golf dash doesnt look so great, so am looking for 303 now. Couldn't find it at local Supa-sheep.
    I have also been looking for something to clean hand marks from the lining around the sun-visor. On the Golf that's a soft light colour cloth. Apart from divorce, what would people suggest here?
    Cheers, and back to the clay bar, just two doors to go...

    I wouldn't touch Armoourall with a 40' barge pole. I read somewhere that the base ingredient was a distillate.

    I used this on our pug, the interior vinyl and trim one right, and am impressed with the results.

    I've been using the Meguiars range of products on my cars since about 1990, never had a complaint about any of them. They're available from Supercheap too...

    303 is available from carcareproducts
    and for the interior, i'd suggest the fabric cleaner from 303 as well. spray it either onto a MF cloth or the area to be cleaned, and buff lightly.

    Wow, hardcore! I've recently taken a liking to a cutting compound from Meguiars because it's quite easy to use. I've been told that Meguiars in the states has a much better product range because they import only their base quality stuff to Australia.

    This thread is worthless without pictures. Gave the wheels a clean today and blackened my tyres with armour all. The shots below show the difference.
