Already ordered mine again, and for my trouble I was sent this (on the right); That should last me a while.

Werkstat Acrylic kit - easiest thing in the world to use, brilliant results, especially when layered, with good durability and highly recommended by pretty much anyone who's used it (just take a look on Detailing World). The only downside is it works best as the full system (here) rather than just an LSP. I've used this on my previous car (silver) and on a family member's current car (white) and I really can't recommend it enough.

Nothing, just poking fun buddy.

I'm going to hazard a guess that there was a radio tower nearby to where you parked which interfered with the signal from your key. It's fairly common. Oh, and in typical WhackyWill fashion, have a random too.

Synthetic sealants tend to sheet water more whereas natural carnauba waxes will bead more, however with different water behaviour you'll also get a different finish. If you're worried about water spots when cleaning, your options are pretty much to dry after washing (either with a towel/cloth, blower or whatever) or to use a water filter - I use the Aquagleam which works well to counter the hard water around here - or the other option is to not wash the car of course... If you're concerned about water sports from rain, due to the nature of rain it's almost impossible to prevent beading (and therefore spots) regardless of the LSP. You could either dry the car after it rains or re-wet with an open-ended hose (using low pressure) to encourage more sheeting. Or just live with it until it's time to wash again.

Bilt Hamber is, in my opinion, one of the best - and has the added bonus of only needing water as a lube.

Maximum discount is given at 5 years NCB (barring the very odd exception). Anything over that is basically ignored by insurance companies.

Free, full size bottle of G6 coming my way.

Yeah, but you broke yours before you even got it home. (only joking)

Glass is exceedingly hard so it's not easy to scratch but regardless of what he says wire wool is capable of inflicting swirls in glass. There's better things to use to clean glass, such as a good glass cleaner and a proper glass cloth instead of old t-shirts, old socks and wire wool. I've not tried it, and personally I'll be keeping my wire wool for polishing the exhaust rather than the glass...

It might be worth mentioning that this months is a "guest wax", from what I understand they intend to still test their own wax blends "most months". Also there's murmurings that the next one might be something special as it's the anniversary box.

...hence the rumour that the wax was AutoFinesse..... Was (as in pre-release guesses) or is? I used the wax today actually, it's actually quite good. Easy to use (Dodo Juice sort of easy on/off), gives a good finish and that tin is much better than the usual pot. Durability is now in testing... I'm none-the-wiser as to whether it is just re-branded though as I've never used the other wax in question. Incidentally, the AM Details Glaze is very good too (durability test is also under way on this, being an AIO), the APC... works, much like most APC's, I've reviewed the Sonax QD on here somewhere before and I won't need to use the wheel cleaner for a while yet but all-in-all, this one was a very good box.

Replace "spacers" with "a stubby".

Rumour has it that the wax is very similar to another, more recognised brand. No idea how true this is, but it wouldn't be the first case of re-branded products. I'll reserve my judgement on it until I've actually used it though. I agree with the pot, it does look much more user friendly.

I agree with the G6, it's very good. I think it may actually be better than Hellshine Pain. Which Waxybox also made me buy (well, I'm blaming Waxybox for me buying it at least).

And that'll keep them clean too.

This month's has landed; another decent selection again this month. Another blind test product, a good wax and I for one am glad to see they've reverted back to a proper air freshener this month too!

Good work

Terrorising the local wildlife that ventures onto the tarmac is my favourite way to unwind. The Mrs will probably attest to how unbearable I was last time I was without a car for a few weeks.

Ah, I remember September 2010. Bloody long month it was that year!

And I concur with that largely (I haven't even tried two of them yet, but then one of them was just a pot of oily gloop...), but I have elevety million waxes (well, more than I use anyway) so I'm not too bothered if their wax is unusable. That said, I have already ordered this months. I've got a few things left over from previous boxes that I've not got round to trying (properly, at least), but I'm an absolute sucker for mysterious new things. The wax being a branded sample this time is just a bonus to me.

G4 is the glass polish, I think you mean C4 which is the trim sealant. C1.5 also works well.

oh, think I forgot a few letters after the 997 .......... litre You're teaching him to drive in a tanker?

I've just finished reading this thread on DW. Which confused me for a while.
