Two wonderful cars, with amazing history - bodywork from a by gone era, certainly something we love to see !

It goes without saying, whether you are displaying your car at Amelia or simply attending. Your car has to look it's best and what better wax to use than Mitchell and King's concours wax <<click here>>

Glace v2

After the rubbish weather we've had I decided a winter wax needed applying, polar was the wax of choice, topped up with Glace v2. Easy to apply and buff on top of a wax and gave the car a deep glow, this will be used throughout winter to keep the protection topped up

Passion

Absolute pleasure to apply and remove smells amazing which makes it pleasure to use leaves a slick feel and lovely gloss

SUMIRE

Great results:-)
It creates a melting gloss just like candy.

Photos says it all

I used many of Mitchell and King Luxury waxes, but in my opinion this is my favorite wax of theirs. It goes on buttery smooth and removing it after it sets up is a breeze. Of course, preparation of the waxing surface is most important, I used a wax removing de com detergent to clean my SUV, I then used Pure to further clean my paint and then used Titan Sealant on my vehicle, though it's not needed to wait that long, I let the sealant setup over night and the next day I again washed my vehicle with just water and then applied the Sumire wax, application of the wax went on smoothly and after 60 minutes I buffed off the wax and in my opinion the results were great, I love the depth and gloss it gave to my paint.

Absolutely not like M&K

After using soft 99 glaco, I was keen to try this product, well I cleaned my windscreen and rear window, polished it with flawless then applied vision, what a disappointment, I might as well had nothing on the windows, absolutely a waste of an afternoon preparing for glass. I would not recommend this product at all, I have to say this is the first bad product I have used with this company. Sorry John but I am only telling the truth.
