I think the general consensus is that sealants give a better finish on white cars and waxes give a better finish on black cars. Obviously, YMMV.

Yep, I know that, was just asking greeners if he uses wax on white, I've noticed midlands car care does now and then, so was just wondering if he does or not :drinking:

In answer to your question I do yes. Recently used Dodo Juice Supernatural Hybrid on a few white cars and it gives a great finish!  :happy2:

I like to think there are very few hard and fast rules when it comes to detailing, try different things and use what you can afford and you find easy to use!  :drinking:

Great work again Nath!

I love the perl on the tyres. I think it's going to be my next purchase.  :happy2:

How do you rate the Megs mf system?

Is it recommended for a first timer?

Finally someone noticed!!  :congrats:

I noticed when I uploaded the pics and hoped someone else would see it so I wouldn't sound like a div!  :laugh:

I do rate the MF system but it does have it's drawbacks. As Stealth has already said, it's hard work and has to be done as per the instructions, but great results!  :happy2:

I saw that and I thought it was just me hallucinating, so I kept quiet!  :grin:  :ashamed:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
