That's a good deal if that's the full sized pot of wax 150g? I think I pay around £30 for the HD as a kit, but I have an account with Autoglym and pay trade prices.

It’s 120g, Amazon 120g is £48.94
Me neither
My mistake.. mis-spelt. Carlack
Sorry chap, I was referring to Autosmart "Aqua Wax".
But seriously try either the Gyeon or Carpro spray on wet products, think you'll be impressed.
Which products have you tried, any good?
This will out perform most waxes twice the price
Britemax Vantage Wax - Premium Carnauba Paste Wax - Elite Car Care
This is why a pre-wash stage is important, it's all about doing what you can before actually physical contact with the paintwork. So spray a citrus based de-greaser/apc to heavily soiled areas and leave to dwell, then hit it with your pressure. If you do this then your rinse bucket will last longer.
Grid guards do help, just think of it as another tool to minimise reintroducing dirt back on to your paintwork.
Y'know, I've always been a sceptic when it comes to those who practice the dark arts of snow foaming and two bucket washing. I gave up using sponges many years ago, but putting a big chunk of retirement money into an expensive car brings about a different focus. Wreck the paint & I'm screwed if I ever sell it etc.
So I'm a convert. Will be getting a Karcher this month, along with some snow foaming & lance setup, and my shelves are now groaning with 'product' and if/as/when the new van is finally delivered, the Grand Plan is to get it ceramic coated ASAP to assist with all of this.
Life used to be so simple..

Have a look at the nilfisk pressure washers as well, good value for their money 
I bought this as a drunken purchase. Works very well and being petrol is very powerful.
Thats not me in the picture nor is it my house. I have no recollection of lending it to this bloke so if you see him in your area make sure your garage is locked.
Can’t beat a drunken purchase

I’ve never really washed a car properly before, the van was done at the jet wash and the cars at the £15 drive through. Since owning my new van and reading this thread I’ve developed a bit of an obsession with auto cleaning products! My van is now sparkling clean however I have noticed some very light scratches on the bottom of the dash cluster and they are driving me mad! Is there a product that will polish these out? My fear is damaging the soft plastic Screen
Any further
That works perfectly. I had the same problem with scratches on my dash cluster, bought this and it worked a treat. I seem to recall you can only use a cotton cloth, no idea why but I did as instructed and job done.
Speaking of drunken purchase, I bloke I work with bought some “Atlas Stones” after watching worlds strongest man it only became apparent when his wife phone home at work saying the delivery had arrived followed by WTFCan’t beat a drunken purchase
