Was just using them to show you the stages of what way to go about doing it but all 3 are very good at what they do. Two coats of the hybrid should last 6 months or so depending on what shampoo you use.

lol, ive just got to point where I dont say then if she brings it up I'm like I got that ages ago   :grin:

Gold Class is a good shampoo ive used it before but I buy a different one each time just to try them. Ive just finished Dodo Juice Supernatural shampoo and now on to Poorboys World Super Slick and Suds.  So far the Poorboys wins it.

Lime Prime and Black hole are the same thing! Both glazes that offer a small amount of cut and use fillers. Unless u mean lime prime light which is more a pre wax  cleanser.

Ha, don't blame the forum...blame the car.   :rolleyes:

I know what you mean though, I've only ever owned cheap "Wash and Wax" for cleaning my cars, no more.  Now I've got a decent Golf I suddenly find my garage shelves full of all sorts of Polish and Wax and Polishers and Glass Cleaners, with micro-fibre cloths everywhere.   :rolleyes:

And I've gone from a 6-monthly car-clean, usually at a Car-Wash, to doing it by hand every couple of weeks.   :nerd:
