Who out of you lot is brave enough to get outside and give your motors a good clean? I've been wanting to... but have managed to put it off so far. I'm going to attempt to give it a good go at the weekend coming. If you have managed it, show us your results. Before and After pics are always great

I've never left wax on ever, prob should do, R222 might be fine as easy to come off, other cheaper ones in past would never leave on. No waiting time for R222 it states.

There's always a cure time with waxes, each one is different...... I'd leave it on for at least 5mins, longer if it's cold. I have one I' trying atm that took 45mins to cure
