Does it look more pants than lots of stone chips ?

Autoglym High Definition wax is good, easy to apply and doesnt leave any white residue on rubbers or plastics.

Simon,
Armourfend is a thin layer of plastic which is applied to some of the forward faceing surfaces of the car to minimise stone chips

P21s Click (now re branded as R222 i believe) i think is very good vfm


The kits from "the polishing company" are better vfm than single items (get the one with "Gloss Enhancing Paintwork Cleanser" wink ) they also do offers i believe if you speak in person or see them at shows smile

Do you mean polish or wax? Wax protects, polish. . . well, polishes. One of the best waxes around is Collinite, and a bargain. Most waxes don't leave a residue, whereas many polishes do. Try detailingworld.co.uk for more answers.
