Problem with your keyboard Simon?

I use T-cut Colour Magic twice a year and then whatever I have lying about as a normal wax. Using the free meguiars stuff we get in goody bags at the moment.

The concours lads will be probably up in arms at that but I just don't see any difference with the uber expansive stuff? The colour magic works a treat filling in those little scratches as well :wink:

I generally use Meguiars which I have found to have an excellent range of products. Autoglym also very good. You can't go far wrong with these.

A friend of mine gave my 610 the treat of Zymol Atlantique Glaze wax. It's not cheap (ok that is an understatement!) :? but I haven't put any product on it since other than a sponge and/or a quick detailer. I wouldn't go out and buy it myself but it's certainly an extremely durable wax and gives a pretty deep shine. Zymol also do a wax called 'Royale'. Only £8k a tub!

I normally use Autoglym, however I notice that sometimes when you buff the polish off, it leaves some white residue which is a pain.
