The stuff with the foam applicator is not the same. It's liquid and doesn't last as long because you can't really rub it in properly.

No, it's wax based so far better. I think you'd be pushed to get leather polish to rub into plastic!!

The liquid stuff is the best, you get a flat, long lasting finish unlike the pics on the previous page using the little tins.

Agreed, the stuff with the foam applicator is best, used it on my 16v about 6-7 months ago and although ive now sold it i still see it regularly as my brother inlaw purchased it and its only now starting to fade.
