Its OK as a sheeting agent, and gives an OK shine if you're not into polishing, but other than that, it's nothing special.

If youre talking about the spray on shine? I use it as a detail spray for after a blatt. Spray on, micro fibre off! Works really well.

Same here, I use it after I have rinsed the car, then apply it, makes drying it much easier and keeps a nice little shine on the bodywork.

It just makes the car shiny for a short while, offers no protection like a good wax and polish would. I've used it the odd time for photos or for when selling a car on but it's hard to recommend it as a regular purchase, it's ultimately pointless stuff.

I use it on every wash, keeps the car shining, cleaner and better than just drying with a chamy leather. No substitute fr polish, but means you have to polish less...

Yeah, that'll teach him. Kick him in the nuts while you're at it.

That's odd, you ask for advice, then ignore the fact that most people think it does a job but in no way replaces polish and wax and decide that your father is better off with it. It is, as I said, good for using after a 20 minute blatt if you don't want to wash your car every time you drive it. I cant decide whether you like or dislike your own father by giving it to him! confused

Autoglym Rapid Detailer is a far superior product. It's fantastic stuff and great for giving your car a quick shine.

It's nowhere near as good as a proper wax and polish, though for a quick use product that will turn out a decent result it's pretty good. I find it to be quite pricey next to normal car shampoo for the amount you tend to use when cleaning your car, and so I tend to stick to the normal stuff. It's also useful if your drying cloths are crap!

It's £2 for 2 litres in Asda.

As said above very good as a quick Detailer. I water it down 1/10 and spray on and buff off with a micro fibre cloth.

or put 250 ml in a bucket of water. Chuck it over the car and use it as a drying aid.

For the price quality stuff..

I give the car a detail and wax every 4-6 weeks. For in between washes I use Demon Shine in with the rinse water and it keeps the car looking good without a lot of effort.

Works well for what it is.
