Bought some King of Sheen spray bottles last week for shits and giggles but actually think it's done a pretty good job. Obviously traditional methods would be more suitable if the car was caked in mud, but as an inbetween for 'proper' washes I'm quite impressed. Anyone else use these??

I’m always wary that these products could contribute towards swirls. Looks great in the photo though.

Lovely car firstly. I was scared to use any of it at first, but was pleasantly surprised by the results, when you want a Quickie!!

I do think colour plays a big part, as some colours do hide swirls and marks no matter what products you use.

Used a Williams one from QVC on y old Audi S1 and it was great for the in between washes like @treble20 said but you could also use it as a wax so mainly used it for that once the conventional wash had been carried out. TBF the Audi was only the size of a postage stamp so a puddle would clean it from back to front if going quick enough .......... i was always going quick enough!

That's the one I use, it used to be called "greased lightening" or something like that. I thing they are all very much the same and I bought a Turtle wax version and it was identical. The white liquid as sprayed on can get in places that are hard to get to which is annoying !!
