i used auto glym, was really impressed til a week later it had turned my bumpers white  :huh: so went back to boot polish.

it take a couple of seconds to dry, doesnt rub off on clothes and its really cheap ... cant beat it  :laugh:

I actually have some 50mm lowering springs and dampers, my dad said the dampers are leaking oil and the bushes are fooked so i have to get new bushes and get the dampers re sealed (can some one do that?) before i put them on ... will gave to get that done as a matter of urgency ... i should think it would be freezing driving at those altitudes  :laugh:

aye didnt like the kiwi personally, kept with my autoglym.... do it every 2 washes, use one cloth to apply then another to buff it,  in between treatments i just buff it with the same cloth i buff it with after an aplication, jesus does that make any sense??  :laugh: :laugh:

anyhow, my bumpers always look black as the ace of spades so alls good

I think we've all seen the posts about which is better etc etc yadda yadda blah  :tongue:

At the end of the day it is personal preference which you choose, but I bet all those people who prefer auto-glym/back-2-black etc products are into their detailing compared to those who use kiwi who are tight arses who wash their car every 2 weeks with any old car wash shampoo & wax  :smiley:
