dont u just hate it, after uԚ´ve spent the best part of 6 hrs cleaning and polishing EVERY last part of the car u step back and all u can say is it looks like its been rubbed down with a pack of butter :x

i know its got something to do with silicone, and the quality of the product.. the general "off the shelf" range here is quite poor, and the one i bought cost the equivalent of Ԛ£13 ..

why cant i find an off the shelf product that gives me a glossy, smear free shine?

Funnily enough, butter is great for getting tar spots off cars.

You should try Zymöl, it's rather expensive but good.
It even works on black cars.
Have also used Turtle Emerald wax with lovely results, and there are loads of caranuba wax in it(which makes it expensive)

I found Autoglym resin polish has the greasy look but I really like there new deep shine polish for a middle budget priced polish. It's totally different to there resin one.
