    Nick ( My son) was down from Dublin for a few days with his Fiancee.
    She has a Fiat 500 that was looking a bit grubby and as they live in an appartment block there are no wash facilities.
    So gave it a foam/ wash/ Purity X via lance/ dry.
    Definitely made a difference,

    Sprayed on some KKD wheel cleaner and scrubbed the tyres with apc solution and stiuff brush,
    Used a soft brush on the hubcaps

    Rinsed off and washed

    Gave the glass a quick once over.
    Didnt have time to dress the tyres.

    She on her way back to Dubland now.
    Hope it doesnt rain on the way up :)
    This KKD stuff is growing on me for its ease of use and decent results.
    She was thrilled with it

    Easier to see the difference the products make on a car less well loved then? ;)

    Can't see the photos but I love Purity-X!

    It really does seal it well after a wash! I bought way too much of it though.

    Must try some Mist-X yet, waiting to use up the rest of my QDs.. any year now!

    Apparently a certain % of purity x mixed with a % of MistX give amazing results and good durability.
    I will try to find the ratio and post it here.

    That's better. Looks like a top job. Love seeing the owners faces after giving their car a make over.

    Looks good now the photos work! White cars always look the beez when gleaming.

    Heard that before about Mist-X and Purity-X!

    Have tried purity x with AS Tango and Deionised water and gave good results too!

    Always looks good on a well maintained car though!

    Found it
    5ml Purity-X per 100ml Mist-X seems to be the accepted ratio.
