Was in Halfords today for meguairs polish and wax but seen this and thought i would try it.

With the 3 for 2 offer the lot cost £28

I had already clay barred and done the meguair's paint cleaner before i went to halfords.

I didn't use the scratch remover but used the paint renovator then the resin superwax.


They went on with easy and buffed off no problem with no residue powder.

I was really happy with the results and i used very little out of each bottle so it will last me ages.

Some pics comments welcome good or bad .

Looking good fella. :cool: I've got G3 products as well and they do a nice finish, but I always seem to go back to Autoglym, not the best but I like it. 8)

Looks great - especially liking the blue dress with pink flowers on :giggle:

I spent hours today on my car doing the clay bar / G3 / Meguires / Autoglym nonsense and now feel mentally raped and far too familiar with every paint flaw on my car :cry:

The only product that seemed worthwhile for me was Autoglym bumper care which has done wonders to windscreen wiper arms, scuttle vents, front grills etc.

AG Bumper care is great for plastics, been using it for years.

Look like you got a good result with the Farcela Products. I am almost at paint stage now with lots of rust sorted and dents pulled out and filled applied, using the wet & Dry to make sure its perfect before i get the primer/filler out.

Just remember that the Farcela G3 range is quite abrasive, even this new composition stuff is. Take you time and do it right otherwise you are creating more work for yourself.
