hi i have just bought some turtle ice with applicator and it came up brilliant and lasted well,i also used halfords own make glass reppellant which has the desired effect,the polish isnt messy and comes up really good and does not take too long also . as long as you give it a good wash and rinse prior to application.

i use Zymol car shampoo and Zymol wax. I used to use autoglym and still do if i dont have enough time/energy to use zymol but if i had the option i would ALWAYS use zymol. It even smells nice! this photo was taken after some zymol shampoo and wax Image what colour is your car? my friend used the autoglym deep shine polish on his dark metallic blue focus zetec-s that he had and that came up brilliantly (that polish works better on darker colours apparently)
