Try Amazon mate, can often be cheaper on there. Oh, Autoglym is good ....... apparently :whistle:
Something thats been making me think recently after seeing other things offered through high street cheap as chips shops. Is it real stuff you get through Amazon fulfilment shops? You see so much fake products being offered cheap nowadays. If it hasn't come from a maintained distribution chain, how can you trust it isn't some bodged up concoction? Some thieving sods will do anything to fleece you of your money. Just a thought...

I guess the only way is to compare like for like packaging. Fakes tends to make minor mistakes in the printing etc.

I think I've just hit on an idea! On my way to my first million!

@Andy McDonnell

Hope to meet you one day to have a detailing chat
Indeed, be nice to pick up a few tips as looking at some of the cars on here I have much to do. Be out about on 4-5 cruises this year so we may meet up. I'll be at the Zed Fest again this year, saw your car but missed you.

Hope to see you then and I do like to polish my parts and bend over a lot.

Thanks @hard top

Great job done @Andy McDonnell :p
I'd really like to give my Z a really good clean :)
But it's a bit too cold at the moment ;)

I haven't got a garage :p
So the cleaning will have to wait :)
Until it's a bit warmer ;)

So beautiful!! A car that clean will reflect back all the sunlight hitting it and will look like a beam of light going down the highway. People will look at it and think it's "THE CAR FROM HEAVEN".

@FRANKIE many thanks mate, she did get a few thumbs up and nice looks in Keswick last weeked. Although it could have been people looking aghast as it was -1C and I had the roof down.

Always happy, apart from when I'm not 🤬

It's a fair point Ian. Never thought about it when it comes to polish etc. I think the 3 for 2 at halfraids is a good enough deal so I'll wait for that to come round and dive in. Certainly been fleeced when I bought a couple of Ralph Lauren pool shirts a few years back.
