We test plenty of pricey polishes, but this new valet pack promises a
professional finish at a reasonable cost. The latter it achieves very effectively:
£29.99 is a bargain for a box containing Non-Acidic Wheel Cleaner (1-litre),
Traffic Film Remover (1-litre), Shampoo & Ultra Wax (1-litre), Ultra Finishing
Polish (500ml) and Glass Cleaner
(100ml). There’s even an applicator
pad and two microfibre cloths.
As for the former, it has a good
stab. The polish lags behind the
best we’ve tested, but the shampoo
is impressive, forming a thick foam
and washing away to leave a real
lustre. The film remover speeds up
the removal of stubborn grime, but
the wheel cleaner struggled with
brake dust. Overall, it’s more for
regular use than concours detailing
sessions, but still fine value. AC
