Gtechniq I1 Smart Fabric AB is effectively a fabric sealant with anti-bacterial properties that is effective in killing 99% of bacteria. It can be used on all kinds of fabric materials and protects against water-based stains, creating a hydrophobic effect. Gtechniq’s claims aren’t wrong in my opinion. It was extremely easy to use – just…
Autoglym Super Resin Polish (SRP) has been around for what feels like an eternity! It was the first polish I ever used on my Nova over twenty years ago. For any product to have that kind of longevity in such a saturated and competitive market, it must be doing something right! That something is: a…
With such a wide range of finishing polishes on the market, even within the Menzerna brand, it can be hard to distinguish between the different products on offer. The role of a finishing polish is to flatten the surface of the paint so that light reflects more freely off the surface, thus improving gloss. They…
In this article I test and review Bilt Hamber Surfex HD. It’s a staple product that I use regularly as it tops my list for the most versatile detailing product on the market. Bilt Hamber Surfex HD is a water-based degreaser/all-purpose cleaner than can be diluted to suit many cleaning needs. I’ve listed below some…

There are often times when polishing a car that it’s not necessary to reach for the most aggressive polish first. In fact, the rule should always be ‘least aggressive first’. Menzerna’s medium-cut range comprises of three polishes: 2000, 2400 and 2500. Of these, Menzerna 2500 Medium Cut Polish is, somewhat confusingly, the middle ground in…
Menzerna 400 is among their most popular automotive compounds and is a product I have been using for several years. It can be used as a one-step compound or as part of a multi-stage correction process, using wool or foam pads, depending on the job. Menzerna 400 scored 7.8/10 overall in our tests. Read on…
Bilt Hamber Auto Wash is one of the best car shampoos that I’ve tested and they delivered on their promises. They claim that the shampoo is highly concentrated and extremely effective at removing dirt from the car… well they weren’t wrong! The recommended ratio of 5ml per 10L of water is insane, and I doubted…
Meguiar’s have an impressive product on their hand when it comes to their Endurance tyre dressing.
