@Gayno - Oh I've tried it before, but can't justify the cost v performance over other sealants :) It's good, very good, but money talks unfortunately for me :)

Yep, Rain-x is alcohol based. Not sure how that means it's jobby, but it is!!

I think I've got Gtecniq G5 too and didn't like that either (too wet and windy to go down the garage to check). Caused chronic juddering with my Aeroblades.

Used the new Autoglym stuff and liked it for a cream polish/cleaner.

Easiest cleaner is still Sterling Pronto for me, IPA based cleaner, wipe on wipe off smear free.
