Looks just like brand new or actully even better.

I do also use Autoglym products.

But is the Schnitzer logo on the grill a good idea?


Edit: What 20 incher will you go for?

Wow! Talk about eye candy


Autoglym is nice I just bought a whole set of products.

What's a reasonable way to wash the cars thorougly? I have to get rid of old wax layers, what to use? Then, after having removed old wax layers, should I then apply Autoglym's Ultra Deep Shine? How long should I let it work (I used to leave 'glym's Golden on the surface overnight, and then in morning just wipe it off: how is it with Ultra Deep Shine?)

Aight, thanks for help =)

I wash mine with Autoglym shampoo, Ive never used any wax so have never needed to remove any build up. Once I've dried the car I apply Autoglym UDS with a clean cotton based cloth, once Ive been round the car putting it on....then I go round and buff it off

I dont leave anything on for ages its almost wax on wax off As I say very easy

In the US, many use Dawn dish-washing soap to remove all wax. I don't know what your equivalent soap would be though.
