Did you not see my LIKE the VERY DAY this posted??
I even ordered a bottle of Collinite for Nix. I'll see if that works as well as Mequiare's I've been using since I go the car. If it's better (after a clay bar treatment of course) I'll ditch my trusty Meguiare's.

You will be happy! In case it starts to dry, a speed shine/quick detailer like Griots blue spray can be a life saver.

I was at the gas station and a kid asked me what those chrome things were on the front and back….
Those are bumpers…… bumpers……

A mere like does not suffice Elinor. Some mention of the superior nature and good looks of a BLACK BLACK BLACKETY BLACK car is needed.

I like the look just find them hard to keep clean looking (Mrs Y has a black Subie)

Never heard of Collinite, must look it up.

Yes, Steve, I was a bit remiss in that, but I was also Massively Distracted by an Immediate quest for where I could lay hands on Collinite which I had never heard of to that point.

After a successful search, however, a bottle came Yesterday from Amazon!
