DOESN’T JUST SMELL LIKE AN ORANGE GROVE, IT WORKS, TOO!
May 7th
I really am impressed by Auto Finesse’s Citrus Power, which has a beautiful orange pong and gets rid of bugs, crud, grime and general detritus that can stick to your car’s bodywork.
It’s also an effective all-purpose cleaner as it lifts dirt and kind of encapsulates it making it easy to remove with a pressure washer. You really don’t need to scrub the surface.
Apart from the heavenly scent, what I like about it is that it doesn’t remove existing wax or sealant as more aggressive APCs do.

ADVANTAGE THROUGH QUALITY AND A COATING OF QUARTZ!
May 7th
Here’s another great product from the nice people at Tenzi.
I’ve always been a bit scared of ceramic coatings. I am happy to use spray-on versions, but the coatings, they are a different kettle of fish. Get some of them wrong and it’ll be like trying to remove concrete from your car’s body.
So, when Wojtek from Tenzi UK suggested I might like to try their new Quartz Coat Paint Protection kit, I was both curious and a bit apprehensive at the same time. However, I followed the instructions and ended up with a gleaming car.

SHIELD YOUR SHINE WITH ROCKET BUTTER
May 7th
Here’s a cost-effective and pretty good quick detailer from Rocket Butter.
It’s called Shine Shield and it’s described as a ‘little and often’ product that is easy to apply and remove and leaves a deep shine. It’s also great for shifting bird doodoo and a bit of road grime that is threatening to spoil the look of your freshly polished pride and joy.
I used it on my RPX the other day and it left a properly just waxed finish and works extremely well on painted fibreglass, which as we all know can react differently to painted metal surfaces.
It is also effective More >
