went into work yesterday and got some carb cleaner and saw the boss and he suggested i "tried" some products out to get a better knowledge of them.... (even though i've already used most of them)

blagged all this

although i must give it back when i have tested it, made 2 packs up, this one and another set full of turtle wax stuff so i can swap wth the other lads when we're done

Why are you supposed to take it back? Surely they've got no use for it when it's been opened and half used?

What's wrong with the water magnet?

Dried up all the water from my car, which was what I was expecting it to do.

Alternative idea, 'test' it on other people's cars, for a charge

Couldn't recommend the water magnet enough, i always used the auto glym synthetic chamois, but the water magnet beats it hands down imo

You ever washed your water magnets?!

Then look closely at your paint, next time you dry it..... swirl mark heaven!

My mate got his golf detailed and that was also the culprit to his nasty swirl marks, if your not arsed about a perfect paint finish fire away!

Chamois takes longer, is more work but safer.

But paint looked super super shiney, as if I had waxed it after using a water magnet. AND it's Flame Red, but not metallic - may be it doesn't like metallic paints?

It all depends on what you wash the water magnet in and how you actually use it too dry the car. Used one on my (also flame red) and i couldn't say a bad word about it, made drying take half the time easily.

Water magnets are wank. If you want a decent drying towel then buy some Sonus Dér Wonder drying towels.

You get 2 for the same price as 1 water magnet and you will instantly see how much better they are

My water magnet is now used to drying wheels

water magnet is great, follow the washing instructions and they are fine
