Spray on wax?

Also, if you want to avoid swirls & spider webbing, bin the cover & just put it in the garage. Dragging a cover over the car each time is dragging fine grit all over the car too.

I quite agree with that but i only ever put the cover on after it's been freshly washed. if the car then gets driven the cover stays off until its washed again :thumbs:

p.s will upload vid of water repelling shortly.

Tricky one that... fair point, but if I ever leave the cover off then I can guarantee our neighbour's cat will get in the garage and clamber all over it! :superstition:

Good point. Im lucky it cant get in but dust and dirt does in the gaps around the garage door so that creates a little dirt.

A decent spray wax I sometimes use is Autoglym Aquawax. Spray it on when wet & use a microfibre to dry it.

+1 on both accounts above.

The Aquawax is really easy to use and provides great results. Its just not as durable as something like Collinite.

Another product to try is Zaino Z-5. Its easy to apply and wipe off and then something like there Z-8.
