Most expensive wax there is about £40  :lipsrsealed:

Hardly a wide choice of the best products on the market is it?

Agreed, it should be named 'Budget Car Care Special'.

There are much better products on the market than those reviewed.

True, but sadly I cant strech to more than £40 on car care a month let alone on 1 pot of wax, as long as she's clean and tidy, waxed once a month then thats cool with me.

Is it only the wax that puts you off the test as I sure as hell would not spend more than £10 on tyre cleaner or bumper care if I had any black bits.

If I didnt have to spend £80 a week of fuel I might not be such a tight arse on cleaning products  :wink:

The wax doesn't bother me, I use Collinite 476s myself and think it is a great wax.

There are other products they missed in the same price brackets which would destroy the others!

I have around £1000 worth of car cleaning stuff (including a PC) i have two pots of wax that range from £70 to £150 and have used them for years now. No idea how you go through a pot a month. I only wax two or three times a year!

One pot a month?

I wax my car once a month as I cover around 2500 miles a month minimum. Covered 11,000 in Nov - Jan  :sad:

Why would you keep waxing it though? Wax lasts loads of miles if done properly!
