You will get fine micro swirls which can be seen more so in bright sunlight mine looks a mess in bright sunlight to the trained eye  easily corrected with machine polish or a good polish with fillers will help cover up .

Getting paint correction done on fine in the next few weeks i have ruined mine with jetwash at local garage over winter and spring  . Mike

If it is a cheap price and you are only doing a basic wash and quick shine which is all most people are looking for such as going to the immigrants who spray a whole load of TFR over your car to make it super shiny for £4.00 .

I have been to local car wash with Algerians and they can pre-spray then pressure wash hand wash then rinse then tyre shine and dry off in 5 mins and that is a Mitsubishi L200 all for £5.00

A Pro guy who does a high end job at detailing would not touch all in one products as they have major OCD and for a Pro job you strip the paint back to bare bones with clay and paint cleaner if a machine polish is not needed but we are talking a world a way and serious money . 

I have spent hundreds of pounds on detailing gear and only the best will give you the best possible finish . Mike

Hi Mike, totally agree with you when that much money needs to be spent to revive the paintwork its usually caused by continuous use of high alkaline based TFRs which as you know cause detrimental damage to all exterior surfaces on any vehicle. When i came across this all-in-one product i was very skeptical as i had tried so many over the years and was never really happy with their durability. I have been testing this new one for six months now and i can say genuinely it is a game changer which is why are now importing it from the USA for the benefits of our clients.

Snow foam g101 and 2 bucket method for me it's the only way to do it and helps ease swirl marks. Lambs wool mit instead of a sponge and a nice waffle weave towel to dry.

Not looking for willy waving "I wouldn't get out of bed for less than £5k" just wondering...
And wondering if I've got a good price?

Hi George, we supply many auto detailers with a waterless cleaning product called Beyond-Kleen (all-in-one clean,shine,and protect,) easy on and easy off product that will transform your clients vehicles, once you start applying Beyond-Kleen to any vehicle you never again have to polish or wax the vehicle as Beyond-Kleen based on nano technology is far superior and far more durable than traditional waxes and polishes, if you would like more information under no obligation drop me an email.
Nano technology is and will be the way forward for protecting almost anything.  We use a German product for Skylight and glass protection> Expensive but it works> There's over 30 companies in Germany developing products using Nano tech There is no doubting what Tadgh is saying he's not buls.....g.

I've seen a bricklayer recently in a white van.  I have a white van too, so do you think I should offer it as a service?
