EDITORIALS / NEWS PAPER ARTICALS  GT Purley Porchse september2004 (KEEPING IT KLEEN) 'The ulimate shine in a fraction of the time' is the boast of a new car care product manufacturer, Auto Proud. The Worcester based company is entering a tough field, going up against the likes of Meguiar's and Auto Glym, but if the results that we have seen are anything to go by , they stand a good chance of stealing some sales from the opposition. Auto Proud Restoration Polish comes with the bonus that it can be applied with water, meaning you can clean your car while the sun is shining, something many polishes advise is a bad idea. Also available are Auto Proud Glass Cleaner and Auto Proud Polymer Polish.

This is going to sound like a shamless plug or you;ll be thinking that i'm doing this in return for a backhander! it's not actually, just something i thought i'd let you all know about as someone who's bought the product and found it warrants alittle write up and recommendation. Having returned from my first rideout after the winter lay-up with my Deuce looking like it had ploughed a couple of fields on the way home, my good friend and adviser on good cleaning and detailing etiquette, Paul Goode, was telling me about this miracle product he'd come accross at a show. He'd been on the rideout to Stourport that morning too, and was crying all the way back-those of you who've seen his immaculate RoadKing will know that it rarely goes out if there's a forcast of rain anywhere within 100 miles. Once home, he'd passed by my place to say he was going to get some more Auto Proud, and offered to get hold of a bottle for me. i'm always a bit sceptical of these so -called miracle products, especially if you can't get hold of them through the usual outlets, but as Paul had said it was good i thought i'd give it a try. Well, i can only say that i was truly amazed! Auto Proud's Polymer Polish goes on really easy, no having to make endless circles, and your bike dos'nt even have to be completely dry as there's no solvent in the formular (infact Auto Proud even recommend using water to help it going on!) you can either polish it straight off using long, parallel strokes or just wait until it dries then polish it gently. It adds a new depth of shine to paintwork, but the most amazing for me was the way chrome parts come up-absolutely stunning! And it's so easy going round the bike, i can honestly say it's cut final polishing and detailing down by half. Having used it a few times now, i've found using cotton pads to apply speeds the process up, and applying it all over the bike gives it time to just 'go off' before buffing lightly all over with a dry finishing cloth bringing the shine right out. And it's also a great protector for the nightmare that is the unplated bare alloy rear wheel of the Deuce (or any bare alloy that matters). At £8.25 a bottle it's a little over what you'd normally pay, but it does go much further than the 'creamier' sort of polishes i've used before, so i reckon it will last much longer. Auto Proud also make a Restoration Polish which goes some way to removeing small scratches and dulness without cutting back the paintwork, and a Glass cleaner too. you can get hold of Auto Proud on 01905 734973 or info@autoproud.co.uk Neil.

	Just a few words to say how good all of your Auto proud products are. I have owned harleys for 4 years and have been searching for good cleaning products for my pride and joy. I am glad to say i have certainly found your products the best on the market by far, i would not even consider useing anything else, Infact i would say that the majority of the 60+ members of the "Spririt of Chapel Ash" club would not use anything else. All this as well as a very reasonable price and excellent service,a real winner, thanks. See you at the next rally (Cider Rally 2005.) Regards John Calleja
	Just a few words to say how great we think Auto-Proud polishes are. We saw you at Tattershall in early September, and bought a set of 3 bottles. We have never had Windscreens so clean, the rain just runs off. We bought the product with a view to using it on our Motorhome shown in the attached picture. As you can appreciate, there is a lot of Bodywork to polish, but we were amazed at how easy Auto-Proud is to apply. The resulting finish is excellent with just one application, so it will be interesting to see the results after a second polish. One initial concern was if the polish contained Silicon, which attacks GRP and its coating, but as there is none in Auto-Proud it seems ideal for Motorhomes. We shall be telling our friends. Thanks once again. Peter & Julie Lambert Stamford, Lincs
	Used Auto Proud products at Bridlington 2004 for the first time, quick very easy with outstanding results no residue even won a Trophy thanks for the introduction I will spread the word. Mark, Worcester
" I am now on my fifth season using Auto Proud and can say 150 % that i have never used a product that gets better and easier. After riding my Gold Wing in ALL weathers it amazes me to see how just a wash and dry and my baby is like new again the shine never fades.   Trevor Woollard is an absolute genius for producing in my eyes the best there is and now cleaning has never been so easy, I'm very proud and what a buzz i get when people say " What a clean Bike you have " or "  " How do you keep it looking like that " !! Thanks a million Trevor & Kath and not forgetting Emma the Labrador !! Derek Candy ( king Pig ) Wessex wings Thanks !             I would highly recommend your products to anyone and in fact I frequently do!!Since buying my first batch of your products (after meeting you in Belgium), I would have to say that I think they are the best available.

I get far better results from your products than from the one’s I used before.I have enclosed a few photos of my bike so that you can see how clean it is!!! Thanks for the products.
