    Hosepipe ban

    Hi all, Is anyone else out there also now under a hosepipe ban? Just wondered what tools or products were best for keeping the car looking good if you are not supposed to use a hosepipe? I've heard of a water-less wash but am not sure if it is available in the UK, or how safe it is to...

    Hi there, Autoglym have a new polish out called Ultra Deep Shine. Has anyone tried it or heard good or bad things about it? I believe it is designed for new or dark coloured paint. Also - does anyone have any advice as to what would be appropriate as a wax to seal in the shine? I...
