Will do - I should hopefully get some quality time with the car on Saturday whilst the better half is away working at her shop :D

Cheers phope, much appreciated  :smiley: The best quality car time is always when the other half is out of the way  :wink: :laugh:

Looks amazing Peter. Daft question but was the lime prime the tar remover or was it another product you used? I'm looking for a recommendation for a good tar remover

Tardis  :smiley:  Lime Prime is a pre wax cleanser and polish with cutting properties.

Don't mind the smell of Tardis.  The same cannot be said of Iron X  :sick:

There's also ObliTARate and TarX.

IronX is one of the most horrible pungent smells (apart from me after eating haggis)

I'm using Dodo Juice Ferrous Dueller just now (can you tell I like Dodo Juice stuff :D )

I've been using maxolen tar remover but I can't find it sold anywhere now and when I did think I had found a seller I bought two bottles only for it not to turn up. Had to open a claim with PayPal which I fortunately won so got my money back. Disappointed as I really liked the product

Will be using Iron-X on the missus new qashqai when it hopefully turns up in a few weeks. Not looking forward to the attack on my senses  :grin: :grin:

It's annoying when you've found stuff you really like and then it's discontinued or you can't get hold of it.  I do like trying different things but if I really like something and it does a good job, I tend to stick with it for a good while, until something else takes my fancy.  Won't be trying any other tar remover any time soon though as still got two thirds of a 5 litre can of Tardis left!
