Hi all.
Here's one for the detailing guys. Just tried this on my RR

Amazing detailing spray. My car is Oslo Blue and on this it works a treat much better than the Autoglym spray I was using. Another thing it's only £6.95 on eBay or £19.95 for a 5ltr can.

Will it polish out my scratches and dings? Inherited when I bought it, not by me!
I'll get some for my hairdressers car (TT convertible 2003)

Detailing spray isn't a polish for removing scratches. It's basically just a really quick way to make the surface shiny.
You usually use it after waxing the car, once the shine from the wax starts to wear off but you don't have time to reapply some more wax.
So like spray on Mer then? That makes it go really shiny too and doesn't need the elbow grease that wax needs.

I use they spray on top of the wax to maintain the finish. Every so often I strip the whole lot off and start again buy using a polish normally Autoglym Super Resin Polish then a coat or two of Autoglym HD wax. Looks amazing when done. If the paint feels rough then a clay bar over the paint before doing all this is definitely worth doing.

I've not used spray on Mer but the detailing spray I've used in the past is very, very liquid. You can use it as lubricant for using a clay bar on the paint. It's essentially a mix of water and car shampoo.
It's no where near the consistency of spray wax.
One the rare occasions I've polished a car I've found that wax polish takes a lot of effort to polish off, it also leaves white marks if you get it on any of the black bits. Mer just wipes on and wipes off, the whole car can be done in under half an hour. It leaves the paintwork feeling smooth and shiny and rain beads up on it and just runs off. Can be used on the black bits too without leaving white marks. No idea if you can get it as a spray, I've only ever seen it in the distinctive blue bottles. There was some other stuff I used to use called Minute Cut (from the same people that did Minute Wax which I always thought was a contravention of the Trade Descriptions Act), that was like a chemical T Cut. Wipe it on, even if the car wasn't clean, wipe it off and it bought the colour back and left a nice shiny finish. I suspect it contained something that has now been outlawed as I haven't seen it in years.
