It says it's for "lazy owners" which I think is negative as I don't consider myself lazy when it comes to cleaning my car. Also, it's not for the lazy. It takes time and effort to clean the car, just without soaking the car first.

Anyway, my car was filthy this weekend due to the crappy British weather, and I recently had a minor dent added to my rear wing which was mentioned in a previous thread. I am getting this wing repaired, so I thought it was worth trying the product on this panel first as it was getting repainted. I started with a clean chamios, a bucket of warm water and the cleaning product in a spray bottle.

I took some photos of the car before the wash so you can see how dirty she was, these are the first two pictures below (I haven't work out how to insert pictures into the thread yet!).

I sprayed the product as instructed and waited a few seconds. I was impressed that the dirt seemed to float on top of the liquid. I screwed up my damp chamios and wiped the area clean. So far so good. I carried on with the rest of this wing and was impressed with the finish. You do need to use quite a bit of the product to wash the whole car, but I didn't have a great deal of time, so I washed the rest of the car quickly with a professional brush attached to my hose (With the weather in the UK I just wanted to get the bloody salt off).
This is where I was really impressed. I have most of the wax left on the car from before winter set in, so water beads fairly well, but what I wasn't prepared for was how much better the water seemed to bead on the wing washed with this product. Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the beading, but the finished results speak for themselves (bottom two pictures).

I wasn't happy about the state of my chamios after using the product on just one panel (Middle two pictures)!

In summary, I enjoy cleaning the car and I have a routine like most of you that works using water, shampoo etc, and only drying the car off once all the dirt is removed.
However, I was genuinely impressed with this product, although I don't know how much this would retail for so can't say if it offers value for money. I would definitely use it if I was attending a car show or going somewhere where it would be difficult to wash the car in the usual manner, but I doubt if it will replace my lambswool mitt and a bucket of water with shampoo for my regular washes. It does a fabulous job and I would urge you all to give it a go to make your own minds up.

Beeg - Thanks for the opportunity to try this product, and I hope you do well with it, but as I said, change the label on the bottle. No one wants to be labelled as lazy, especially enthusiasts!
