Supposedly you never need to dry the car ever again, the water just slides away as if by magic. You never need to wax again, blah blah...
They show it kicking @ss on the infomercials, but at £25 a pop, I wonder if anyone has tried it and given the thumbs up (or down)

[cavgsi]

dont Woolworths sell all the JML direct dtuff for cheapness ?

[SteveW]

Well if it's anything like their Steam Genie, the advertising is a tad on the optimistic side lmao

[AndrewM]

On a side note, is that Demon Shine pap? Sounds too good too be true...

[JohnA]

Well all these 'miracle' products sound too good to be true. Usually they're overpriced tat.

So nobody has used Durashine then?

[SteveW]

Not used it. Watched the JML channel yesterday when the Dura Shine bit was on.

So beading is bad for the paintwork eh? It leaves loads of pits and holes in the paintwork does it? Does it boll*cks lmao

Looks great in the ad, but I bet there's a disclaimer somewhere saying that you must use their car shampoo (sorry, shine regenerator or whatever they called it lmao) or the Dura Shine won't work properly.

So, you never need to wax a car again, never need to take it to a car wash either, because every time it rains it's just like washing the car? Why is it then, in the infomercial, there are a bunch of people who have put Dura Shine on their cars - and they are re-applying it while that American geezer wanders round them. Thought you never needed to wax it again?

You do get a 30 day money back guarantee though, so if it doesn't work I suppose you could send it back. Thing is, I kind of like the way my car looks after rain at the moment lmao

[SteveW]

Oh yeah, one other plus point for Dura Shine is that it will stop a laser from damaging your paintwork lmaolmaolmaolmao

It does a reasonable job. But you will get better with a bit of elbow grease and proper polish, but great for a quick job.

Never tried Durashine but my top tip is G3. I swear by the stuff!

[Haynzee]

G3 is good. but you must use a good wax afterwards. after all, G3 is a heavy cutting compound... lol

[Astra2]

G3 is good. but you must use a good wax afterwards. after all, G3 is a heavy cutting compound... lol

As Haynzee says always use a good wax, i got a finishing polish when i bought the G3, its unlabelled so i couldnt tell you what it is (i assume it is part of the same range) but it certainly does the job in style.The paintwork was near on a mirror bar the back arch. lmao

Although it`s a cutting compound i didnt find it anywhere near as harsh as tcut or other similar brands...?

[Beenie]

My old mans used Durashine and he reckons it's poo, so it never went near my cars lol

yeah spock use to use it on his ride he told me it was pretty good for the atmospheric surroundings

[DaveB]

any commercial that says "and thats not all" just makes be think "bollox!"

[SteveW]

It's the whole "when water beads on a car, it damages the paintwork" approach that makes me think "bollox!" lmao

I mean, I've been polishing cars regularly since 1989 and I've never had pitted and holed paintwork due to over polishing.

[Beenie]

sorry but thats a great signature!! lmao lmao

[cavgsi]

lol , just watchinh the jml channel just now, and they aim a laser beam at the 'durashine'd' paintwork which apparently stops any scorch marks from this laser that burns through '2 inch thick industrial polystyrene'

[DaveB]

maybe u lot need to get out more and stop watching channels designed for housewifes

[JohnA]

... stop watching channels designed for housewifes

before the operation I was very macho.
I even had (some) facial hair.

[sarah gte]

theres stuff called "fire glaze"....you get the car treated, and when it gets dirty, run the hose over her and she's spotless........ive seen it....it words really well!

[sarah gte]

daveb

lmao lmao you do make me laugh!!!

[SteveW]

sorry but thats a great signature!! lmao lmao

lmaolmao ooo first time I've been quoted in a signature

maybe u lot need to get out more and stop watching channels designed for housewifes

Well, my excuse is that the houswife was watching it waiting for the Steam Genie ad to come on again (just to see what they say it does again now she's bought one lmao) and the Dura Shine ad was on just before it

Still, those slimming pants they're selling look really good lmao

[cavgsi]

I put it on cos I was sittin next to the TV reading this thread

[DaveB]

yeh rite... wotever
