Well getting near the end of the clean.

It's very very very clean, but for the amount of products and waxes put on can't really tell the differance between what I've done today and when I use Next Generation on it's own.

To be honest I think the biggest problem is trying to make it happen on a white car.

The #16 wax almost seem to take the other wax off, it looked better just doing a #7 & #26.

For the amount of time it took, simular results for me are just with using Next Generation on it's own.

I might have to try the poorboys stuff now though

Mate thats the thing with white,

Remember mate, a decent shine takes time, perfection however takes a little longer

Just go buy the Optimum car wax and be done with it, the more coats you put on the better it will get.

The main thing is, are you happy with your results?

Want me to do it?

Whats the significance of the clear buckets?

I've just gone back through the whole thread and don't understand why so many of you seems to have them!

You are exactly right Dazza. Frayz spent at least 15 mins. telling everyone of the pro's and con's of using clear buckets.

Just as soon as I can get to B&Q, I too will purchase the Holy Grail of Bufty!!

Just to highlight, the only con of a clear bucket is the £3.48 pricetag,

Everything else is pro pro pro!!!!!!!!!!!
