Ash, you mentioned using some Poorboys....where did you get this, was it an over the counter item? I have been scouring as many motor factor shops as I can find in the Midlands for some Poorboys as well as some Natty's wax - but no-one has even heard of either! I normally use Autoglym polish and sealant - which I think does a great job, however the polish tends to create some "powder" when polishing off, and this also has to be removed from the body when finished (it gathers in the scuttle panel, door gaps, window ledges etc.). Thanks.
