Leo_Denmark Senior Member Offline Posts: 462 Middelfart Denmark. Gender:	Wax on - Wax off 25.03.2012 at 17:26:15 Hi all I gave the Jag some wax today to celebrate its 20th birthday... It's far from perfect, but I'm still pretty impressed with the durabillity and build quality after 238.000 km and use in 8 danish winters (salt...)

Also available in the UK

Brilliant shine, long lasting - does not leave white streaks on rubber/plastic surfaces. Easy to apply - a little goes a very long way!

Followed by regular washing using Autoglym car shampoo.

I have just been given some Turtle Wax Extreme Nano-Tech Polishing Wax, silly name but seems to leave a good finish not really used it much yet though. Cheers Mark

It has nanotechnology what ever that is. Having said that I can report this to be rather good and much easier than the more traditional applications. Happy days Nick

Lasts for months, i sometimes wipe it off with a microfibre cloth after it's rained, or use a detailing spay. I've heard good things about the finishkare detailing spray as well, but haven't bought it yet.
