    Cheers for that Rob .. Didn't realise the AS snow from was that strong compared with others. That'll explain the issues I've had with it in the past. We'll reassess that on our next purchase :)
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    I've been using the Bilt Hamber foam over the last few months and to put it simply, I love it. I've used loads of snow foams and all have claims that leave you disappointed. Not Bilt Hamber. If the car is particularly dirty I dilute it 8:1 and spray it onto the paint like a pre-wash. That will get the car 90% clean!

    Shampoos.. I've stuck with CG's Glossworkz for years now I just love it!

    My got to wheel protector in the studio is Polish Angel Supersport. Easy, no fuss application, easy to clean and really durable.

    I never trust the "wax safe" claim on any product until I test it for myself. Pick a little bit of wax out a tub and stick it into the correctly diluted solution in a wee cup. Leave that over night and check in the morning, if that wax is untouched then it's perfectly wax safe. A little bit dissolved and it's fairly wax safe. Gone then yeah.. Not wax safe!

    Craig, the autosmart actimouse stuff is really just a TFR so will strip wax, and dressings etc.

    If you want to stick with autosmart due to the value etc then try the 25l drum of brushwash. Its what petrol stations and the like put into the roller washes. Its not a TFR and is far less likely to strip etc. It foams very well.

    Otherwise I use valet pro ph neutral stuff.
