Cleaned the car this weekend and checked how well my wax was bearing up that I applied after a machine polish detail earlier in the year. Collinite 476s still beading well, boosted with some Autosmart Tango quick detailer which was sprayed on to the car wet and then towel dryed.

Looks like a picture that Sir David Attenborough would take. From the series sex life of the sea sponge
Cool picture though.

Looking good Barry, and nice to see another B10 with the sleeper (non-spoiler) look.

Looking good Barry. I've got BSD as well which I use as a top up spray wax sometimes. Pretty good for £6.

I'm afraid I have an M5 bootlid spoiler to fit in the new year, just need to get it painted

My car has the same spoiler, I think it still qualifies as the sleeper look - much prefer it to the standard issue versions on the V8 / S.

Arvi, do you dilute your Sonax Xtreme detailer or use it neat

Sorry Only just seen this, I use it neat - a couple of sprays at most per panel is all you need.

Ok thanks Arvi
Seems like good stuff but not as easy to use as more expensive ones
