Has anybody tried autoglym on there shoes ???? :laugh:.

My old man swears by it :wink:, said the finish lasts much
longer than it used to with Kiwi polish.

Cleaned car last weekend, used kiwi with the applicator. 

Result is A1!  Only problem is doing the top of the arches, but a cotton bud and a wee bit of kiwi sorts it out, just need a little bit of patience.

Was a little worried when i used it on the spoiler as it streaked a bit, but it dried in well.  Water proof too!!

Definatly using Kiwi every time i wash my car.

dude, use masking tape over the paintwork, much easier

I'll add my two pence worth to this, someone recomended it to me on here and I've not looked back... pics in my dub project thread in my sig.
As for the life of the shine, I've had about four months out of it in winter before it needed doing again, although I applied two coats in the first instance.

Incidentially, I've used Autoglym leather cream on the mrs' handbags, that works a treat... and I've used super resin on my front door...
