Cycled over to my local Aldi last night and they had it so grabbed a couple of bottles. No micro fibre clothes at home so that's next on the list
Previously you got a micro fibre cloth with it, cutbacks I guess!

Any cloth will do it, but a nice microfibre will make it easier and improve the finish with less risk of scratching.
My 5 litre bottle of Britemax Spray & Shine is finally getting to the end, but the Britemax stuff doesn't appear to be available any more.
I am leaning towards Autoglym Rapid Detailer, but would be interested to hear of any of you guys have any other recommendations?
Thanks!

For the last 10 years I've only used Britemax as I thought why change if I'm happy with it! I noticed sometime ago this was becoming harder to get so I made sure I have enough to last for a while
I was using a sticker gum remover the other day, a quite aggressive solvent, and it started taking off the matt paint that was on there since before I bought the car. So I kept rubbing and underneath was this lovely deep lustrous original rosso red. So well preserved you wouldn't believe. I'll take a pic when I am back from Andrew's vast country estate.
I'm the one who leaves all those shoes in the carriageway.

Red looks good on any early Ford!
I see the Britemax ebay listing in my previous post has now sold out, I wonder who might have cleared their stock

Love your car, always makes me smile whenever I see it at CRaP

I'm going to go a step further and use a proper spray gun and compressor! But I got to thinking that I could make some very cheap red GT4 decals simply by removing the black. My favourite kind of mod...taking things off
Not sure I will though... Capris have a habit of vanishing when they look too good. Might just keep it rough

Ooooo very fancy!
That would look cool, but you're right - need to keep that anti-theft paintwork
