Thats where I bought our from, they have stocked it for some time along with the autowash. The stuff is very good indeed. I used it on the Boxster and the Subaru, but have yet to do the VXR's

Same here. I probably could have saved some money by shopping around but I dont have enough patience.

Cath – Boxter, Subaru and VXR’s? – Wow, wanna be my girlfriend!

It's not the "real" stuff. It's made by Turtlewax under license IIRC.

Why would that make it a bad thing?

I'm not saying it's bad only that it isn't the genuine article. It's OK for the money and can produce a reasonable shine. It does dust up though so don't let it dry or failing that before you buff off spray a little QD over the area. Best to apply and remove one panel at a time.

on another note guys......

My xkr has anthracite paint (black metallic) and i noticed in the very bright sun this weekend that in places the paint looked a little dull, almost had a few flat spots.

I washed it twice then dried it & used t-cut colour restorer, on the whole worked very well but i noticed that one rear wing panel (which I had left to go hazy for a little too long) was almost impossible to polish dry to a shine & just seemed smeary?? Was this down to leaving it too long ?

As an aside should I now wax the car too ?

Umm. Oh dear. Ditch the t-cut and use a polish, glaze and wax. For now a Quick Detailer will help with that residue.
