    Going to sort my HRC out today after cadwell

    Colinite I have some but as yet to use it. Have you tried dodo juice hard candy or super natural. Great stuff. Just started using auto gylm hd wax. Gives great results. If you finish off with a wipe of dodo juice Red mist quick detailer. Bloody Impressive stuff
