2. Put the product on a cloth used usually about a 5c coins worth.

3. Then rub it on in a circular motion working about 1/4 of the visor at a time.

4. Leave it to dry/haze for about 2 minutes.

5. Then wipe off with the microfiber towel.

Should look like this, and as you can see there is a clear difference at the mid-way mark:

Then continue to work the other four sections. Then if necessary wind the windows down and do the inside of the visors!

Other comments:

Sorry, used camera phone for images! I used metal polish for a little part of the window it seemed to work well also but scared as it might be too powerful or something so only did a tiny corner.

Oh thanks mate, um I have no idea since i've only put it on a few days ago but still going good... I took it for a spin then it rained :o but luckily it was still shiny.. so guess it will last quiet a bit of time probably half yearlies or when you detail your car.
