Bizarrely

I've been struggling to find anything to mod without deep pockets....save for tyres and rear squeaky arms+ HID conversion and led angels

However, I've fell in love with Autoglym spray tyreshine.....not too matt...not too glossy...wears well...and a plethora of uses :o

It works very well if you avoid spraying, use a 2 inch square sponge....spray on sponge and use it very sparingly as in hardly any on it and wipe

On the tyres I get even coverage,
On the black bit under my rear bumper if wiped then worked in and kept on top of it works well too....but make sure the car is very dry as I hnk the moisture throws it off
The bolster bits on the inside of the door trim near the windows...not saturated mind. Rain bounces off if the window is open. The rest of the door too....but not the leather bits

Then the brave bit....the dash....wow...black....not saturated....just worked in....like new


On the outside there is a tendancy for the first hit not to last, maybe moisture. But touch ups must soak in better and becomes very even


and the plastic bits on show round the rest of the car
