Save your money on the mop and glow and put it toward getting your car a professionally applied ceramic coating then you have accomplished something great

I had lifeshine on my Disco when it was new, but where the dealer wanted about £500 to do it, I drove it straight home and a pro detailer came next day, and did it properly for £250.

Mine came pre purchase dealer lifeshine'd , they hadn't actually done a bad job, but there were a few points that show a dealer does not have the time or commitment to do a thorough job. Mainly polish left and coated over on all the edges, a few buffer trails left in the paintwork and a few blobs of the lifeshine product left not properly wiped off.

I've ended up redoing it with some proper gtechniq products, and I noticed the lifeshine blobs really weren't that difficult to hand polish off so cant be that hard wearing a product.

Leather I treated with gTechniq L1, like the video above clean and coat is the right solution.

I would not pay for a dealer to do it, it's more for Joe average to get something conveniently.
