Yeah, Back to Black is very poor when it comes to things sticking to it. That's why I was wondering about the Peanut Oil... I could buy some and if it doesn't work find a recipe online that uses it

Hmmm - that seems worth a go.

Spray on to a dirty car - use a microfibre cloth to wipe it off then polish with another microfibre cloth - it's one of those thing that you've actually got to use to it to believe it - it doesn't scratch your car and you don't need to use any water. Sorry, slightly off-subject there! Try this link: Search results for proshine in Car Parts & Accessories

Its always on the shopping channels on freeview at the moment, i thought it was a con but it sound like you highly recommend it. I dont know if I could bring my self to wash my car with no water, it would just be weird

Peanut Oil has held up well even with all this rain, the only problem I found was I didnt wipe the excess off in some parts and they have attracted the dirt. Where I had applied and removed the excess it looks like new!!!

Yep, go for it - actually look on eBay for it though because I think you can get it a bit cheaper (inc postage & packing). I felt exactly the same when I first cleaned my car without water and it did feel weird - I was even more concerned cleaning it dry when the car was still dirty - I thought I'd get loads of scratch marks where dust and dirt had been lying. But no, it actually did exactly what it did on the TV - amazing. I wouldn't attempt spraying my car with enamel paint though like they do on the shopping channels!!

I've just started using Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel (LINK), i used it on tyres and the plastic wheelarches. Have been using Meguairs Trim Detailer but it took so long to apply and never lasted long

The Chemical Guys stuff went on a treat, if a little greasy on the plastic trim but once dried it looked great! Just need to see how long it lasts now

The mini stuff is very good - it comes in the bag you get when you buy the car. The only problem is if you don't put the right amount on, you can get the run off effect and it sometimes doesn't do a good job at covering polish. Still, its possibly the best I have used as it doesn't 'clog' the plastic.
