Demon Shine - Pour on shine or pour on sh!te?

Post by bb1boy » Fri Jul 12, 2013 4:06 pm

Where I live my car gets covered in dust every day, so every day I want to go out in it I have to wash it first. I'm thinking of trying this Demon Shine stuff to see if it saves me any time on my daily car washing, has anyone had any experience of it?

I personally would avoid as it means you will be dragging that dust all over your car with a cloth

I will wash it first, its just that this stuff says pour over the car after washing instead of drying.. it's the drying etc that uses up all my time (and microfibre cloths).

It is great stuff when used as a rinse aid.

After washing, dilute in a watering can and pour over the car (open end without the rose). Mine usually takes two watering cans. Then dry with soft/plush microfibre cloths.

Reduces the driving time by at least half and really helps with water spot reduction (nightmare in Swindon with hard water and a black car!).

Then when dry, wipe down with your QD or spray sealant of choice.

I use one of the ASDA microfibre blue towels and that dries the whole ATR, including door shut and wheels. Demon shine helps a lot.

The waterless car wash ones are the ones that scare me

They are ok on a lightly soiled car. They were tested on DW with no noticeable marring.

Wouldn't use them on a filthy car though.

I use the waterless wash products on mine, if only light dirt. Does good job, no scratching, and saves time.

I always use the spray version (I think its exactly the same stuff) and it works really well.

wash car, spray on, wipe off with microfibre cloth, stand back and admire handy work whilst ignoring rust.
