ARBO Carnuba Polish..

When I was in Portugal late last year I saw this cheap ARBO Carnauba Polish in one of the big Supermarkets, Continente or Jumbo, can't remember which.

It was only Euro2.99 so I thought it was worth a try. Anyway, I had forgotten about it until today, and seeing as it wasn't raining, (amazing in itself!) I thought I would give it a quick go on the Bonnet seeing as I had given it a quick wash the other day, but had had it covered since.

I was quite impressed how it covered and how nice it applied itself on the paintwork, nice and smooth and creamy! Left it for a few minutes to dry off a bit and I have to honestly say I was impressed how it buffed-up quite quickly, and easily.

So I thought 2 quid well spent. Off course we will wait and see how long it lasts, but it was really smooth and the polish cloth just slid off the Bonnet...

I took a couple of photo's, not the best as it was in the shade between houses.

So if you're in Portugal next time I would recommend it, if you see it...

And back to bed...lol.

Looks very good to me. Just another example of rip off Britain where we have to pay many times the price for similar products.

I wouldnt say that, there are plenty of cheap Carnauba waxes in the UK for that sort of money that will make your car 'shine'. However, they are like Palmolive soap, the actual content of the ingredient its named after is less than 1%.

Well for that sort of money it cant have much in it. Good grades of Carnauba wax cost more than the entire product. It doesnt make it bad, it depends what else is in it. Many synthetic waxes are better, the issue is when they use cheap paraffin or bees waxes.
