steveolkinevel Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 For years all ive donemis use turtle wax shampoo with a good blob of mer car polish in the bucket of hot water, rinse wash then dry. My mate, well was, started valeting using "only the best car cleaning products, maguiers" so i thought give it to him give im sum extra cash and get all the odd marks and hair line scratches out. He had this stuff call scratch ex 2.0 iirc! Heres the out come of that!Theres more of these on the car but these are the worst bar th bonnet which looks poker dotted now as its opened up all the stone chips! Huh maguires best car cleaning product! May as well of washed it with a brillo pad and nitro mors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
