Snake oil beloved of the shopping channels, has anyone actually used the stuff, looks like it would scratch the paint?

Never actually used it but spent a good hour watching the show once until I realised what I was doing. I can see how it would work though but it does seem too good to be true!

Ive got some and used it a bit in between proper washes.

It uses a million cloths unless you have a good go over it with a jet wash first.

It sprays like a mentalist and cover bits of the car you have not even noticed nor want to polish. Dont believe the no white residue business as it does.

Pretty good stuff though and quick but messy to use. Better to spray it on the cloth first.

Cheap when they do a deal but overpriced if you buy it at any other time.

Been using it for a few years. I'm a wheelchair user so I can't wash cars fully, I get family members to help or do it for me, we're all fairly busy for various reasons so its useful to be able to do it quickly.

Nothing much wrong with it, I wouldn't dream of using it how they do though :S, wash first with shampoo/mitt then go over the whole car with it. Have thought about trying Dojo Juice Need for Speed, looks like its similar although I'm a bit unsure what else I might need to use with it.

Agreed. You'd need about ten metres of microfibre to clean a whole car. Wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

Got it when it was on offer once.

Only ever used it after the car had been washed and it did seem to bring a nice shine through.

Haven;t had it since and probably wouldn't go for it again as it's just a quick detailers spray really - I wouldn't use it on the dirt they do on the advert.
