    Dont want to detail it as im not a ponce, just want to clean it!

    Also dont want to cut corners just last time i polished a car i had to work like **** to get a decent finish which is probably why i not bothered since.

    autoglym super resin polish followed by a wax of your choice should give a nice finish

    You do realise TFR is the single most paintwork abusive product you can apply, its very rarely diluted to the correct mix and will bleach and tarnis pretty much any colour going and imo, should never be applied to anyones cars ever!


    I think you will find Kev was joking hence the '' after it
