Can anyone tell me where I can get the Swissvax leather glaze in the UK. Also any views on the best wheel protection ie wax/polish etc.Also any general recomendations for good cleaning products. (I cant believe I'm turning into an obsessive car molly coddler since I got my Beastie 3 weeks ago.) Still smiling tho'

for the leather i would go for the gliptonr as it gives a better finish,
as for the wheels as long as you use a good wax on a reg basis this will help to make is eay when you come to wash them.

for any more advice feel free to get in touch with me

Cheers "Extreme", thanks for the tips.I can't wait for a decent day weatherwise to "treat my baby nice" The Scottish weather is not conducive to polishing right now. Can you tell me , do you use the cleaning foams with a cold water power washer or due you recommend a hot powerwasher?

i do use a foam but first i put a citrus cleaner through my foam lance and i`ve found this to lift the like of bugs off the paint work so no rubbing hard on the paint work, then once i`ve put the citrus on i them put the foam on top of the citrus and leave for 5 mins then rinse off then wash with 2 buckets and a wash mitt.

for the foam it does work better using hot water but a basic karcher like this one will be fine

for a foam lance like i use

pic with the foam after 5 mins on the car

with the foam lance you can adjust on how thick the foam is and it can be as thick as in this pic



hope this helps

feel free to ask any more

Sorry if I'm being thick here but what do you mean by citrus foam. Where do you buy this? Cheers
