| I've never used the tech wax paste, just the gel stuff in the bottle,
I think it gives a great result, have always clayed the car first though and sometimes bodyscrub and then use the tech wax, the results have been stunning | |

Find it really good stuff, comes off ok on doors and wings, but the roof and bonnet is a bugger to get off of

Still have some auto-glym - but only use it on the tigra

| see i went a bit nuts,
i tryed stage 3,
love it,so order stage 2,and more 3,
then tech wax,and paste, quick wax,and quick clay and deataller,
and a few other bits,
and using the "buffing" off clothes its even easyer to do (not sure of there real name)
but i deffo wouldnt do back to autoglym,
have it still on my clearing shelf getting dusty | |

| It's the cloth you use and the conditions you use it in which dictates how well polish comes off.
