"Myan Gold" This colour does not ever realy require cleaning other than a hose when it gets realy covered in mud.
I thought the reason that no-one cleaned Mayo-naisse Gold was to hide the colour of the car
No flack form me mate...each to their own, as you have proven with your colour choice

Update - jetseal 109
Well its been a week since i put some jetseal 109 on my car ,and all i can say is "WOW"
I only got one coat on the car , 3 on the bonnet and 2 on the alloy wheels before i lost daylight .
It wasent much more shiney than normal (as mine is normally quite shiney anyway) but after a week the car is still gleaming
I had a bit of mud on the side and could not belive how easy it came off with the hose pipe
And the best bit is the alloys ...mine are always dirty ...but they are still like i have just washed them ...great
I have a garage full of waxes , sealants and polishes ...and after spending a small fortune ,i know what i will be using from now on ...
Go on get some ..you know you wanna
Thanks JKP (and anyone else who suggested it) for the tip

Wiggs.....it looks fantastic......nice work....
I have a quick question for you guys......I have a friend working on getting some JETSeal to me, but in the meantime I'll keep using my Poorboys EX Sealant, which seems to work well......now I want a decent wax to put on top.
Today I've just ordered the following (not from Elite, but a local supplier):
I've heard good things about the 476, but this seems even better from what I've read elsewhere....does anybody have any feedback on what I can expect?
Cheers,

Looking good Wiggs.
Hoping to get some on mine at the weekend (weather permitting!)Bodsys Brake Bible
I was stunned when I did mine, really impressed. Would love anyone's thoughts on what wax to use; I used Megs Stage3 Carnauba, but would be interested to know if the P21 is that much better? Being a darkish colour I'd love to have a shine you could swim in I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

P21 is a very good all round wax and at £20'ish is very good value. If you want something specific for darker cars for a wet finish use either Dodo Juice Purple haze or Dodo Juice Blue velvet the later is a hard wax. Both are durable and from what I have seen outstanding finishes.
Oi! Mrs Do$h is sat next to me! That kind of thing can cause ructions, that can
Purple haze strikes me as an interesting try..... I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Purple haze is a top product you wont be disappointed. Rubbish boys original on that same site os also very good. It has a high carnuaba content approx 80% by wax volume. This will increase durability and give an outstanding finish.
I'm waiting on my supply from Mr Postman to do my D3
