Used this runny autoglym stuff on the Chimeara after usual wash and polish. ran out of time so left (under cover) overnight to dry. It was an absolute bugger to polish up next day, but eventually came out gleaming. But mistakenly thinking it was the overnight soak that was the problem I thought I'd give the Disco the same treatrment - this time only left it 1 hour on a warm sunny day - still a sod to do. whats the problem??? - Have I ladled too much on

If its the super high glossy resiny thingy one, the clear liquid one, then you just have to put enough to dampen it all over. Leave it to go to a faint dull white, 30-60 mins then buff. Yes it does take a bit of elbow grease, but not too much if you only put a thin coat on. In theory you'll just need to buff it with the leather next time, but the deep gloss effect you get will get you to thinking you'll do it every time
Well worth the effort on solid colours that show up every mark, perhaps not so for the metallic's that always look clean but not quite so shinny.
