As for pvr's collection, you can tell he knows how to shop, but looking at all that I don't he actually uses it and just shows it off when peeps some round or for forum use lol.

Other reason I saw that is all his motors are treated with that special coating malarkey (which of course I really want to get done lol) so he actually doesn't have to wash em much lol

Because I'm rich, good looking and am a massive knob, I pay people to regularly wash my car for me

Autosmart products here plus DI water and Jap Soft 99 wax, I've tried all the sh*t and this does the job without being too much of a tart.
TDS from 350 ish to Zero.
