Anyone wash their car today? ?

I found the Swarfega a bit of a pain to rinse off.

Brillo realigns the swirl marks beautifully

When I was a student in the 80's where I lodged during term time the guy downstairs from us had a Ford Cortina Mk 3 in metallic light blue. In those days they were a single coat metallic without lacquer. It had started to go dull on some parts of the paintwork, so I kid you not, he used a brillo pad all over it to make all panels equally dull. I remember how sad it now looked and all the blue residue around the car on the floor after it had been rinsed.

Now you pay extra for that sort of Matt finish. Least his was free.
