I recently bought stage 2 and 3





and i thought since i was a little bored i would clean out the garage, which turned into a 5 hour clean! then i washed the car dried off and gave abit of a polish..

these pics have jsut got the polish on at the minute, its abit cold outside to do much now coz it just mists up again.

The spray on tech wax?!

I've got a bottle of that, can't get to grips with it, utter pish!

Stage 3 wax is not all that brilliant either, alot better waxes available try the gold class liquid wax instead!

no not spray on at all, the stuff in a bottle, stage 3 wax isnt that bad, its just the polish above so the wax just holds that in.

Thought stages 2 and 3 was pretty good. The paint cleaner isn't that great. Been told you can get better results with T-cut.

The spray wax however, is very good

View pics of my car at both Santa Pod and Trax '07. Simple 1 bucket wash, shammy, then spray wax

you need to make 3 - 4 passes with it, but it takes a long time to use... i bought it because i thought i could do the whole car by hand.. i was wrong.. very very wrong!
