Almost as if someone was throwing small lumps of cement onto the roof - same colour and virtually the same consistency. Have never seen bird chite like it before. Anyway have small area of mild scratches from one particularly stubborn dropping; can anyone recommend a good product for removing the scratches and also a good product for tackling this disgusting mess should it happen again (which it will).

They seem to have advanced a lot in recent years and at least look they aren't going to rip the paint off the car anymore. Might try and swap it for something else if they're still considered crap

Towels were washed & dried before first use. These towels are supposed to drying towels yet they shed fibres like no other. The microfibre cloths have a tag that impossible to detach from cloth without ripping pu the cloth threads. Even at 80% off, I still feel ripped off. I don't think I'm gonna risk using either the wash mitt or clay mitt given how bad for my car the other things have been. The waxing pads were alright. Shoddy, shoddy, shoddy.

This hasn't bothered me, just fold them in four keeping the tag tucked up inside and just be careful as you go. The wash mitt looks identical to my Incredimitt which is serving me well after possibly 7 years. You must be used to very expensive mf cloths etc if you think these have ripped you off at 80% reduction in cost.

Have ordered with them for the last 3 orders and I much prefer them over in2detailing(with their £20 shipping to ROI compared to 7.50 with Slims.) in2detailing was so highly recommended on detailingworld but i think they're uselss compared to slims. only good for the das8 (the 3" backing 'plate' that comes with it is fairly crap) [& yes, i have tried irish sellers in past and was left sorely disappointed with service/delivery & range]
