Title: Furniture spray!!
Post by: monkeysquid on October 04, 2010, 06:07:40 pm

Well, One of the lads @ work mentioned polishing your car with furniture spray (Mr sheen etc). So today i washed, dried then gave the Golf a going over with some of the fore-mentioned spray, and i must say i was well impressed with the results.....
Has anyone else tried this or have any other weird tips?  :smiley:

Not all silicone are bad but you need to make sure its good ones you use, bad ones are a nightmare to remove so if your getting paintwork done the bodyshop won't be happy.

A lad I know swears by it. I must admit his car is always gleaming. I still wouldnt use it on my car though.
