Cars in the 70s and 80s were often washed with washing up liquid. Every now and then the vehicle was treated to a going over with the good old fashioned Turtle wax in a tin. Pretty solid stuff that was applied with a damp cloth. You needed arms like Popeye and half a day to buff it back off but the result was good. Didn't stop the cars rotting though 😂😂

That sponge action and noise reminded me and made me cringe even more as a couple of years ago my neighbors had dried in bird poop on the roof of there car and the wife was outside using a (non scratch) scouring pad to get it off my wife shouted me upstairs and said here look at this as she knew it would go through me she thought it was hilarious, omg i cringed so bad that day, but as for fairy i think it was forensic detailing (jon) i watched a few years ago did a video on it and i have since once to twice a year used it to removed the remnants of my Soft Fusso 99 before i re-polish and wax and its brilliant for that.

I took my car through an automated garage carwash but its put stains all down the paintwork on the doors and boot which won’t wipe off or wash off with water or not even fairy!😂 Seriously p*ssed off.

I like the idea of this. But I'm assuming (as your a detailer) this would have previos protection from good quality products already. So my point is this an unfair test? What about finding someone with a car that's not been properly detailed before and give that the same treatment. Now that would be a test!
