That's probably due to wax residue being whitewayneE30 wrote:its just that when i used to own thisZayyan wrote:Definitely not.wayneE30 wrote:dont you find that when you use a wax the same colour as the car its hard to know wheres been waxed
Firstly it immediately becomes more shiny and secondly it leaves the residue of a normal wax anyway
I would try the colour enhanced stuff every few months to save it from going pink - the difference in colour when I first used it was fukcing amazing
and im not proud of it i used to use a white wax and could not see where i've been thats why i was asking mate
should i ? should'nt i?

put a little slit by the opening to ger the connector out
then scrub the rubber in the sink with a sponge scourer
