Got this on my St . had on my last two cars too . superb. So easy to clean.NOTHING sticks to it, road tar etc.no polish will stop fading etc like this.its the best thing ever.i got thrown.in with my car . normally around £200....OR bottles of both stage process on e bay. Tons of sellers. All genuine stuff and peanuts..like a fiver.take u an.hour to do yourself. Its easy..its brilliant!

Can't stand the stuff tbh, complete rip off at the point of sale, different if it was thrown for free I guess

Unless ur using a PH neutral shampoo constantly you'll be taken whatever treatment has been applied off anyway

Better spending a quarter of the money on a decent wax IMO thumbs

Totally disagree.if its done properly as mine is then cleaning is totally effortless.and youre not meant to polish the car after or it will destroy it.anyone can apply it by buying both stages on e bay. A bottle of each stage is peanuts on there.5-8 quid for both in some cases.i agree the 200 is a rip off but youre paying like 90 quid an hour garage labour costs.get a nice dry mild day, 2 hours of your own time and the benefits are worth it I think.unless you have an older car then polish yes.new car with diamondbite.pointless but up to you really

Just spent 2 hours removing tar spots from the left side of my car. Diamondbrite didn't make it easier and likely was removed by my use of white spirit but it was that or mess around with the dealer and lose my car for a day or two while they sorted it. Tomorrow, right side, front and rear. BTW, polishing it doesn't destroy the finish. At least monthly after you wash it, you use the diamondbrite polish in water to refresh the polished finish. It's pretty much the same as a lot of the other polishes you add while washing.

This was more like a fine spray of tar as well as large spots, all down the sides. Been on for a couple of weeks while the weather was so bad I'd not been able to wash it. With the snowfoaming, cleaning, de-tarring, then rewashing and polishing the one side, spent most of the afternoon on it.

A couple of pics from this morning. This was the cleaner side of the car.

Without spray

After spray, before cleaning.

Nope, just using a road that was resurfaced on the cheap by the council. That'll teach me to not wait a week or two before venturing onto a road like that. The tar was everywhere, even up my rear windscreen.
