    X3, by far the best interior product, not only for it's detailing properties but also it's UV protecting agents

    Oh yeah I forgot haha...I'm too obsessed with my Supernatural shampoo atm

    I use 303 as well. Just make sure you buff it off after you put it on or it will look a bit blotchy like it did with mine. You can't go wrong with the 303 stuff, it's excellent

    I've just finished putting my order in with Car Care. Thanks for all your advice.

    I've decided to go down the Dodo Juice path (FTW - LOL)

    Gone for:
    Dodo Juice Born to be Mild Shampoo
    Dodo Juice Two Birds - Half Cut, Blue-Velvet
    303 Products Aerospace Protectant
    and some a Mint microfibre cloths and mitt.

    My budget didn't stretch far enough for the clay so I'll have to leave that for another day. Hopefully a good two bucket clean and some Lime Prime will suffice for now before I hit the panels with some wax. Can anyone see a major problem with that?

    This weekend I'll wash the car again and hopefully next week I'll get my goodies!

    Wash it with something pretty harsh. Maybe duck down to Wollies and get some Armorall Heavy Duty wash (the green one) and wash it with twice the recommended heavy duty wash dosage. That will get all the old wax and stuff off

    Received my gear!

    Hi guys. Received my products in the mail, all expertly packed and as described.

    Communication from Greg was fantastic, and he even went as far as tracking my order for me to find out when it arrived. All in all an excellent purchasing experience with Car Care.

    A couple of final questions before I hit my pride and joy with the Dodo Juice (and God willing cause no damage to the paint)...

    After seeing what mates did to their cars with cheap supermarket brand polish I'm allergic to abrasives... Will the Lime Prime cleaner leave a white build-up between panels like polish?

    Do I need to tape up my rubber seals when using the Lime Prime?

    A couple of members have mentioned that the 303 can leave blotches unless buffed back, can I do anything to prevent this if I'm applying it by hand?

    Is it safe to use the 303 on leather (like the steering wheel and handbrake wrap)?

    Thanks in advance
