So washed it today and waxed with the Collinite 845. I have to say its a lovely product to use and very easy to remove. It claims that it lasts 6 months but Id never be able to not polish and wax my car for 6 whole months! So Ive decided I will resist using any other product on the roof (apart from wash detergent) for a whole 6 months to test this out, so Ill let you know how it has lasted around 10th October!
Almost wishing for rain now to see how it flows off the freshly protected surface. Sad I

Well nearly 5 months since I did the roof, I think its safe to say that the wax isn't gonna last 6 months! I don't really believe any polish / wax / sealant lasts as long as is claimed by makers. Thats the roof hosed down and no beading remains.

Ingenious

and just to think that I have spent, what seems like, a fortune on a new white leather suite. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

I'll not tell you how little I paid for that then!  Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Well having moved to our new home I finally got enough furniture, boxes and building supplies moved to allow the Freelander into the man cave, washed outside, I brought it inside to dry it off and a polishing session planned for tomorrow.

How'd the Polishing come up?

It looked great at the time, its filthy again now, living in a rural location down a lane it doesn't stay clean for long unfortunately.  Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Well that was a false start. Turned up at ATS where my MOT has been booked and paid for over 6 weeks ago. After getting a text to remind me yesterday I was told their equipment was broken and had been for a few weeks. He said I should have received a call and he would refund me but it would take 3 days. I now have to find somewhere else within 5 days.

Rubbish service. MY06 FL1 TD4 2 door red (gone)
