You cant polish a turd but you can try...

Finally! since December last year i havent had a chance to wash the car.

used devil shine, awesome stuff. I was surprised how good that stuff really is. Then when dry i went over it with smartwax sealant.

HIDs 6000k, very happy with the visibility at night

You can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter!

Nice effort, calypso always comes up really nice when you put in a little effort

Devil shine is cheating lol.

autoglim hi res polish and a buffer then some canberra wax once a month keeps my car slipstreamed

Cheating it may be, but the results speak for themselves...looking very clean!

how long does it last though ?

there is no "polishing" involved it's just a liquid you wipe on with a cloth and that's it

i was tempted to buy some when running late for santa pod but polished it when i got there instead .

Nah, look at the picture, it looks like a subwoofer port!

I used smartwax sealant on the car, which made it gleam even more.

I washed the mothers A4 and just used demon shine looked much better then it would have with a wash and wipe down.

magpie you havent got back to me on that thing..

Its most obvious on the fourth picture. inside the square O/S brake cooling duct, there's a black circular tube.

Looks awesome. Would look amazing if it was metallic

I cleaned mine yesterday and just saw how many scratches its gained over the winter. Black is a bitch to keep looking awesome.

Have a day off baggimodo

You hit the nail on the head, it was pre cut when i bought it so i just filled the whole and i may have used a sub port as it fitted in snugly and it was at hand at the time

its not cheating its fantastic stuff but is not a polish/wax replacement, i use demon shine after every wash when its rinsed with clean water and still wet, use demon shine with microfibre cloths on every panel to try it for a nice finish

but, i also keep the car sealed with ag super resin polish and wax over the top, the demon shine i use more as a watermark/drying aid to leave a nice finish, when the cars niceley waxed and sealed, it just takes 15 mins to give it a quick hose-shampoo-rinse-shine

also if your cars nice and detailed, and you have a quick 2 minute piss you off rain shower that jsut leaves marks...a quick spray/wipe with demon shine , handy to keep in the boot for shows or going out to take photos etc
