When I run out I can get some more... Its pretty good stuff and comes if you get the "Truglo & Truultra" Paint Protection coat. Id still call your Dealer and see if you can get some (if not for free) from them. The Truultra Wax based Gel leaves a coating on top for about a Month and bird howyagoings and sap seem to come off real easy....Goodluck..Damo Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/457-car-wash-what-do-you-recommend/page/5/#findComment-21945 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wax actually brings out the red abit more and gives it a glossy shine. Mind you it doesn't last very long, but hey it's worth it. I only use the size of a 20 cent coin for the wax on the bonnet which is pretty good.

Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 22y 1m 29d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 09/05/03 06:36 AM Share Posted 09/05/03 06:36 AM I was offered what my ford dealer calls a "defence pack" which for $995 got my windows tinted, paint protection and fabric protection. "Oh it's great stuff they tell me!!" Well after talking to a guy who is a detailer at Toyota and uses the same "defence pack" I decided to give it a miss when he straight away told me it's crap and definately not worth the money! And this bloke has the cleanest cars I have ever seen rain, hail or shine. All that aside he recommended "maguires wet look" as the polish to use and I can't say I'm dissappointed!
