That\u2019s what we\u2019re here for \u2013 to spread the word about good companies and products<\/p>\n<p>Having used Lush on my X5, which was badly covered in some sort of sand from the Sahara Desert or more likely Pevensey Bay, I got cracking. The heady scent was intoxicating (in the way that only a fine smelling car care product can!) as did the way the product \u2018flashed\u2019 on the car\u2019s surface as soon as I hit it with a microfibre cloth. It clearly has a high amount of carnauba wax in its formula.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19310\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19310\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_3326.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-19310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_3326-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19310\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Result!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I hate quick detailer\u2019s that hang around longer than a bad smell and leave smears and residue on your bodywork.
