That's what the wife says, but I've found buffing less tiring.

You buff your wife? Do you use a circular motion or straight up and down?

If you saw the wife then you'd see none of them apply

Lovely Motor, The In Development product seams to have gone down very well on DW.

Bilt Hamber dont shout about there products like other manufacturers and not found a duff product in there range.

Surfex Hd is a cracking de greaser.

Auto balm needs an art to its use.

The Quick detailer smells fantastic.

Hydra Wax is so so fast to use.

Finis is a fantastic Wax lasts ages.

The Cleanser liquid is great for prepping for best adherence.

The Cleanser Polish is more to hide swirls.

The Microfine is a very very mild abrasive and may remove very very light hazing etc.

I have all of those except the Microfine (and some others besides) but haven't used them all yet. If you want to try the new stuff (don't think you ordered any on DW) they may still have some left. I got a second bottle as did at least one other person so they must have made more than was ordered.

My machine actually arrived today. It had been left with a neighbour but no card had been left at my house so I didn't find out till later on this evening. It has definite signs of having been used before but everything looks OK. Now I just need some reasonable weather to try it.

Remember this quote

"I did find it mildly amusing to see most of you running around with mini micro-fibre cloths drying your cars but, hey, that's just me"

Seems to me that you have got the detailing bug
