    To the OP, our previous car had that treatment. We had the car for 5 years and the paintwork was still immaculate when we got rid of the car. We used to use a wax free shampoo. I can't remember the make offhand though. Will see if I can find it online.

    The only other thing we did was add some of the preserver to a final rinse of the car and then chamois it dry.

    Just remember, wax-free shampoo!

    The op should use almost any main stream car shampoo, be careful on wax free shampoo, products named so are usually products to strip wax and lsp coatings not necessarilly a product of pure shampoo with no added wax. eg simoniz wax free shampoo or G3 detox shampoo wouldn't be suitable for the OP's needs.

    I got the contact details of a chap on that site who lives local, I paid him to do my Subaru when I was selling it, thanks to him I got the full asking price with zero haggling attempted.


    He has now set up his own business and is doing well, especially as he has landed a contract to colour correct new BMWs at the local dealer.

    No, but it's probably the blue Zymol made by turtlewax and sold at halfords. And to be fair it is a similar price and performance to the AG BSC, I am fully aware of DW forum.
