Much like Gtechniq...


Yeah precisely, guess I should really pay more attention to detail.

I've used various makes in the past, using carpro dlux at the minute and getting good results

I've got the c5 sealant on mine and it works well, but to be honest in the past a frequent wipe with autoglym has also done a fine job :) ... Just a smear with a wet cloth doesn't need to be an epic job IMHO, more important to keep topped up,

Just don't spray it on - much better to either do with wheel off or spray on a cloth and wipe on
Already tried this and makes no difference I think it's coz I have yellow stuff pads on my car!!
I thought it was a wasted 6.99

Mr Sheen
Works on clean stationary wheels, once driving, provides no protection whatsoever.
