    I will bare that brand in mind next time, at the moment FK are the only brand on sale with a Decon kit in the UK. But i spend alot of time in SLC, i will see if they have some 32oz bottle to take back with me!

    It's not that big of a deal. If you can wash your car, you can do an ABC wash.

    Advantages:
    *less time
    *better paint prep
    *no marring

    I think every car could benefit from it...

    Nope - if you follow the directions you'll be fine. It's approved/recommended by pretty much every OEM car manufacturer. Unfortunately, there site appears to be down right now. http://www.valugard.net/cms/

    Yes - clay afterwards if needed. Accumulator actually clays during the alkaline step.

    Flatbush Brooklyn, I've lived here all my life. I like Queens, it feels less congested and on top of one another than Brooklyn. If you are ever in search of a professional detailer due to serious paint problems give me PM as I am fairly close-by.
