Meguiar’s Water Magnet

Price: £12.99 Weight gain: 460g Contact: 0870 241 6696, meguiars.co.uk

Long-established Water Magnet just brings up the rear of the very closely packed midfield, but is still a decent performer. Its waffle weave struggled to match the best in the soak test. On the bonnet it filled up relatively quickly, needing more wringing than its rivals, but it left a good finish. Edging could be better and looks flimsy compared to some.
