Well, it was actually dry last night, so i decided to give the Showroom Shine a go. I bought a couple of large microfibre towels and went to work.
One thing that immediatley peed me off was that it splattered all over the place, but never mind i thought, I'll crack on. I used one towel to spread and smear the liquid, and the second to buff once it had glazed over. It came off really easily and left a lovely shine, although i wouldnt say it looks as good as it does on the telly. I did the whole car in about 20-30mins, and to the touch, the paint felt lovely and clean and smear free. The side and rear windows also come up gleaming, but i stayed away from the windscreen as per instructions.
Again, back to the splattering. Here's me, thinking the car looks great, and off i drive to my Dads for a visit. Looking through the windscreen, i see patches of splattered polish, and also on the passenger wing mirror. Obviously i didnt see all this when i finished, and it peed me off that i hadnt completed the job :slap: Also, on winding down the windows, it revealed a lovely white line of polish that needed a quick wipe at the next set of lights ;) I also noticed the tyres had white splatter marks all over the place!
So, all in all, its a decent product, cleans the car nicely, but can be messy if your in a rush. Its perfect for using before "meets" if your fussy OR, as in my case, if your in a "hose pipe ban" area.
Its NOT as good as Idealworld make out, and I'd prefer to wash and polish my car properly, but again, it will do a quick clean if required.
