Managed to pick up a pot of Swissol Samurai Wax off some guy on Scoobynet for reasonable money so I though Id give it a go as I usually use Meguires.

Ive heard a lot about it and this stuff aint cheap, the Samurai wax is about Ã,£45 a pot retail but some of the more exclusive waxes in the range go for really silly money..  :shock:

Very easy to use though, goes on nicely and smells gorgeous You dont need to use a lot of it and will have to see how long it lasts. Spread over the course of a year the cost doesnt seem quite so bad..

Pleased with the results although I really need to do a full detail to get the best out of it. Will leave that until another day and before the Autumn comes round..

Anyone else tried it ?

Looks shiny your Forester looks good mate

Ã,£45 is a lot, but if you have to use less per square metre, you could work out the costs if you were nerdy enough, it may be cheaper than Megs.

Meguiars (thats the correct spelling btw ) is pretty goodly stuff though Id say

I always think that Zymol Ã,£5k for a small bottle seems expensive, but you get free unlimited re-fills.. so over the course of your ENTIRE life... if you use it frequently enough, its not that expensive

Indeed, you were caught on camera just beforehand:

Never used anything that expensive before, but as with you Ive managed good things with Meguairs:

I dont waste time with wax - I spend my time making sure the engine and mechanical components are in the best possible shape. And that doesnt mean cleaning them either!

dirty cars look crap though - You must have owned black cars in the past, or have one now and you know what 5 minutes of driving does to them!!

I wasnt aware Pontiacs, Porsches, Fords, Volkswagens, Hillmans, Scanias, Lotus Sunbeams, Kawsakiss, Suzukis or Hondas were made in much quantity in France

I can just imagine all the girls saying "ooh your car smells nice!"

Your wheels look as if they were designed for a wider tyre profile imho  :?:

Well they are actually. You learn something everyday dont you - that can be yours for today.

i would be angry with myself if i had bought a reasonably new car that didnt shine when polished tbh, especially a black one  

Got to get some key cuts repaired first, but the last polish I done I just used Mer (think thats the stuff) partly diluted in water, washed it on left it to dry and polished it off. Just a basic wet polish but was good

looks good but as brummie said it isnt hard to get a new car looking shiney tbh.

i was pleased how my 95 metro came up using Mer :
