Funnily enough I was looking to get a quick detailer today as only yesterday I gave my car the full works wash clay polish and wax and today she's already looking dusty :-( so would be ideal to give it a once over with detailer.
I'll keep an eye out in this thread.

Megs last touch. Just never got on with red mist. No idea what the tropical version is like.

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

Red Mist seemed a bit greasy with I've tried it in the past.

I use CG Speed Wipe on everything!! Smells great and has loads of different uses!

Auto Finesse Final is good stuff too. IMO avoid Red Mist on a Dark coloured car because if you don't buff it off completely it will stay sticky and your car will end up covered in dust!  :scared:
