6 weeks post DIY detailing with my Boora 20 quid amazon purchase.
It still feels very slick and beads like magic.

Nice! How long did it take you to apply the protection? Did you have to protect the non metallic parts of the car or was it easy to apply?

Took me about 75 mins. I did not treat the chrome pieces. I do have another protector which I used on on the alloys and chrome bits( name escapes me , I will put it up later).

I found the process very easy.After applying step one, I waited a few mins as instructed , then applied step 2 and then buffed and "voila"... I did it in the shade as apparently it ought not be applied in direct sunshine.

Thanks for the info - Will get that product when I get the car (need to place the order first!).

If you think the alloys/chrome protector is good too, when you remember what it is let us know
