Any opinions or comments about Greased Lightning showroom shine wax car cleaner and any of their other products. Have seen the T.V shopping channel adverts and the demos but being a sceptic wondered whether it was all too good to be true.I wouldn't ever dream of using any cleaner without previously washing the dirt and grit off but a friend at work swears by it and I must admit his car looks impressive. What do the experts think ? it looks so effortles to use.

hello jukeda,this can be a touchy subject there are a number of factors at the end of the day.1:- what sort of result are you expecting ?2:-how long is this finish going to last?3:-if it's cheap it is usually to good to be true.4:- you only get out of it by putting the effort in to it.5:- plus another factor is how much are you prepared to pay for a product.personally i use a range begining with m there ultimate range car wax £27 for 478ml bottle ultimate wash and wax £15 contains carnauba&synthetic polymers some may say these prices are crazy that just my preference and i am more than happy with the results i obtain and i no the wax will last. i hope some other members come up with there thoughts, could be an interesting topic.

Personally I've been a swissol man for years, still on the tub of wax that I bought a LONG time ago (polished my TT waaaay too often, didn't bother so much since)
But yes, same sort of 'stupid' money, but it lasts and gives great results.

Not heard of this greased lightening stuff, will have a nose around...

Detailing world is the best site for cleaning cars
So much information and Hugh debates on products and value for money and quality ranges

I use chiemical guys and little bit of Autoglmn

before i had these heart problems i used to do a lot of show and shines and i did one season with autoglym and the dust from the wax nearly killed me,so then switched to meguiars dries to a nice haze wipe it off with a terry towel or ultimate cloth and there is no dust blowing over you

Stay away from the miracle cleaners you see on tv ads , it's all rubbish that costs pennies and they charge fortunes for it ,

Even the best quick detailing sprays should only be used after a wash and never on a dirty car as you will destroy the paint after just a few uses and it will be covered in swirls/scratches that you may not notice in the shade but wait till the sun hits it

No Rinse gets a good review and one I use quite a lot as I don't have access to a hose. But it has its own style on how to you it. The youtube link is a good example.
