Title: Greased Lighting
Post by: dean07 on 25 October 2011, 18:15
Just used this on my Gti for its first polish. One of the lads at work kindly gave me a go of it. Must say I was impressed. I hate washing a car with a hose and chammy. Anyone else used it?

so which particular Greased Lightening product did the OP use?

i find it quite interesting that if you want to clean your car as they suggest then you'd have to spend a lot more than you would for 'normal' products and a couple of buckets and some water.

Lass at work that I helped source a mint condition car for used the no water wash stuff the other day. Paintwork now looks like it's been cleaned using a brillo pad.

i have a mate with a 'transformer' edition camaro, gorgeous car, but he knows nothing about car cleaning and he uses the mantis waterless wash spray, its smears like snot and is a pain to buff off, especially when youre short like me, with the car as big as it is and you cant reach the top  :undecided:

waterless wash sprays, created by the devil to laugh at the mugs that use them, lol

Yes dean ive used it quite alot and its a very good product. Ive even tried it like on TV with no issues and yes it worked. of corse if your car looks like its been down a farm track then i would not use it for that. If you use it after you washed your car you will see good results and 4 to 6 weeks protection imo. Great on glass and plastics and if you take the surficants out of the bottle and just use the Cream carnuba liquid then its a great All rounder Qd or wax if you dont have time to do a full wax.
