    So you wash and wax the car first, then apply this afterwards?

    Or can you just wash the car and then spray this stuff on?

    Any pics of your 575? :D

    You use it like any spray detailer, the difference is it has carnauba wax in it, vs the usual silicone based polish.

    My process now is to dry-wash the car (microfibre cloths + normal spray detailer) then use the carnauba detailer. Lovely deep shine for very little effort.

    I only use water+detergent if the car is properly dirty, e.g. after 5 days on the GG, after wich I wax it the old fashioned way with Meguiars carnauba wax :)

    Look at Greg's post under New OHOS Coming. He bought it from KIAI and put the roof back on. ;)

    this is the result from spray on and wipe off - it's the best of these products I've found.

    Flappy paddles are rubbish. If I could buy an Aussie-delivered manual 575, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

    But I can't and I appreciate that the paddles are good in traffic, so it's all good.

    They are worth it to a collector. Rarity factor. Last mass production V12 manual.

    599 manuals are unicorns.

    Nor sure that there actually was ever a 575 manual Aus delivered.
    There are 2 imports in the country .

    Yes exactly the same apart from a couple of minor inconveniences. ....like a clutch and gear stick.
