Yes it does, thats very easy to apply and bring to a shine and lasts for ages once its on +++ details are HERE

I use THIS ONE as even on my lighter colour it produces almost wet look gloss finishes and I re-wax it every 2-3 months :D

Thanks for that Neil, all good advice gratefully accepted and appreciated. I'd like to maintain it correctly and keep the finish it has now for as long as possible.

Cheers +++

Spent the day having the car polished professionally again, and I have to say I'm very happy with the results. Went for a different finish this time, less clinical and more of a "wet look" which I think really shows of the colour.

Same place as last year, by a forum member who is doing detailing as a hobby. He's very busy so is obviously making a good go of it. He did a mates black S5 last weekend and did an awesome job on it. I enjoy watching and learning and got involved this time, it's a great skill to learn which fits perfectly with my obsession with cleaning the car +++

Keep it to yourself mind but I think Neil has arranged the annual meet for a weekend he knows I'm not available as he knows mine would put his to shame ;)

I'm offering a clue by stating he bought a car from Ian, but I suppose that covers at least 50% of the forum members :)

I'll leave it to him as to whether he wants to reveal himself, all I can do is highly recommend his work +++
