    Default Simoniz - Back to Black

    Is there a cheap alternative out there that gets the job done in a comparable way to Back to Black?

    It's too expensive for what it is really but I've tried a few alternatives and they just seem to dry off almost straight away meaning you have to load it up and end up going through the can at the same £ as just using Back to Black sparingly.
