    I use turtle wax BLACK on the car and ICE on the blade to ensure I don't get white powder stuck in every grove.

    Ice is great for the small areas around the bike, however it's very hard work on the car.

    Oh dear, sorry mate. That needs a bit more than t-cut. I assume it will be put right on their insurance?

    I think I might have used it in the past and it was hard work. Does it come with a chip stick?

    No but because its clear it doesn't leave white powder in the stone chips, ice is great for the bike

    It's not the same one then. I've got a serious stone chip infestation thanks to the recent floods and am looking for the least painful way of addressing it. I'm sure it was a coloured turtle wax I used before. The polish was so so but it came with a wax chip stick which was worth the price on its own.

    Seeing as we have decided not to bother going to the bike show tomorrow we will be 'polishing' off a couple of bottles of Italy's finest export (after Ducati off course)
