| I always use Autoglym. Resin polish first (red label) then the protective wax (gold label). Gives a good result, lasts a reasonable time, and easier to use than hard waxes. | |

| Your right Lee I no longer use sponges or chamois leather, except for windows. And also use the two bucket wash, after a pressure wash. I'll see if I can find the links to 3M's tutorials that were on the Essex site. Roger Just keep it clean, as I will be down when the days are longer and the weathers fine.  | |

| Will have a look for video's later!
I am still not liking the idea of pressure washing it, more I don't trust myself! I think I will still only use a hose!
