_shaun_ Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 A lad that used to work for me paid £900 for this to be done to his brand new Astra. The sales mans pitch was he would never need to wash the car for 3 years! Any time it rained the dirt would just run off! Almost cryed with laughter when ha told me! It did bead quite nicely not as good as high end waxes and polishes but can't argu if u can get it free or mates rates Quote Link to post Share on other sites
