Greased Lighting
« 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?

Is this the spray that you rub off with a cloth? :lipsrsealed:

Might be ok as a QD  :laugh:

so which particular Greased Lightening product did the OP use?

http://www.greasedlightning.co.uk/shop.php

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
