Basically, yes. I've used Bilt Hamber Dynax S50 cavity wax and that comes with a tube similar to what you describe - has a 360 nozzle on the end. Great pics!

I'll have a look in halfords then or make my own.
Btw I can't recommend that stonechip/waxoyl combo stuff enough for high impact areas Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

The DRLs were a cheap ebay hobbit, seem ok but not expecting loads of life out of them. The 6" LED Bars were from ebay too, sold by many different sellers (from China I think) - cost me £90 for the pair, and they're damn bright! I've got them wired through my high beams (with a switch too) and they make it like driving a range rover at night, even white light everywhere! (Not great range though but standard high beams are enough to give that bit extra you need) Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

Worth looking into. Without accruing it it won't get much cheaper over time. Just notice the 88" in the background in the laning photos, excellent to see the old boys keeping up |
