Yep, you're doing it right !

What a pillock! Yes, 01780-767080 - it was early !

As one of the largest Swissol distributors in the UK, having advised hundreds of clients as to what is best, it comes down to this: 1. Select the right wax for your car - in the case of Skoda, this is Onyx, Saphir, Best of Show or Shield. Swissol is great for any colour, it excels on dark ones. 2. Consider what your price point is. 3. Allow for purchase of Cleaner Fluid - you really do need this to make the most of the wax. 4. Onyx- a fine product to buy if the price is a heavy consideration and its in no way a low grade option. Saphir will last longer and give a deeper shine, Shield only really necessary for heavy use cars, ones parked next to railway lines, used off road or which habitually get filthy and Best of Show gives a wet look shine which not everyone wants. 5. Expect your purchase to do your car about 25 times ( assuming its one of the average size models), and unless its heavily used, perhaps 4-6 times a year - I'm assuming here that the car is an everyday drive, not a weekend special. Thus, its good value and saves you loads of time oer cheaper products. 6. I use it on my car. If you want a personal verbal discussion on this please call me on 01780-767080 (after 9am though please )

My vote again goes to Swissols Pneu - I had a guy begging me for some at a Concours, luckily I took a kit apart and found some for him. He won 'Competitors Choice'. Nuff said. see www.morethanpolish.com

If you want official genuine Swissol you can only be sure you are getting it from a Swissol authorised retailer - and certain 'magicians' are not, having alledgedly been involved in some pretty dubious practices, including apparent non-delivery for up to 6 months. Application of Swissol is easy, you can do it yourself in about 3 hours, especially on a new car with no real problem areas, and the Starter Kit ( pre-wax cleaner, Onyx wax, cloth and applicators) starts at

Using the same wax on your wheels that you use on the rest of your car is a good start, but the really good stuff is specially forumlated for this job and contains PTFE so it will last very well and do the job better. Alloys ain't cheap, even refurbing them - I know, just had mine done - this Swissol product is

I met a guy at the Porsche show in the summer who was going spare afetr his Pneu ran out - but he got hold of some more from morethanpolish.com who were there and won the Competitors Choice in a big Concours. My thoughts- for a tenner it has to be worth a go if its this good - you only get what you pay for........
