Where did he say anything about detailing? Its quite obvious all he wants to do is give his car a polish!
Super Resin is perfectly good for those of us who just want their car to look shiny in between it getting covered in s
t off the roads. £10-15 on a bottle of wax on top to finish it off does the job fine on something you're using every day.

It's a lease car I've had for a couple of months (Audi A1 Sport). I noticed that rain wasn't beading on the paint so I went for some SRP. I tried giving it a good shaking but it made no odds.
Fair play to the detailers but it isn't my thing. I just wanted to give the paint a fighting chance. It's a black car and makes a prime target for loose-bowelled birdies!
The car's ultra-shiny anyway so all I was after is protection. In the past, I found that SRP lets dirt lift more easily at wash time, just wash, rinse, leather off and it's fine. I usually add a coat of Autoglym 's high gloss stuff. Then, the wash strategy works for 6 months and more.

Used it today and I have used it since I started cleaning my own cars 14 or so years ago. I did notice it came off easier. Cant really say I noticed it was thinner though. My bottle is a couple of years old so may be the old stuff.
Its a newer car though and I did clay bar first so perhaps the paint is in a better condition hence it was easier to remove. The extra gloss protection is still a pig to remove manually however.
If my bottle is the new recipe or not it still leaves loads of dust.
I go back as far as silicone polishes coming in. The first I used was the Simon stuff (in a blue bottle) - it always left greasy marks on da4n colours.

SRP always was better but it's definitely gone thinner - also used to cut better in its thicker incarnation.
