Overall Auto Express rating

3.0

Price: £14.99 | Size: 1,000ml

Another sweet-smelling waterless wash, but it struggled to match the performance of our Meguiar’s Best Buy.

The presentation box comprises two cloths, plus two 500ml bottles, but the nozzles are poor, with a narrow spray that’s prone to spotting. Clumsy delivery system also means more buffing is required than with rivals.
