I have a problem with my cat at the moment. Will waxing get rid of it or do I need to get a big dog?

waxing cats is not recommended and the choice of dog is extremely important (pit bull or similar).
It may be easier in the long run to get yourself a gun (AK47 or similar) which will require much less care than aformentioned dog. However, do not use gun to treat the problem if the problem is sitting on your car.

Richie,
After washing the car & drying I use Klasse sealant, then apply Swissol. Comes up very well.

I read in one of the BM mags that swissol is great for use on alloys, helping prevent build up of brake dust etc. any thoughts on that Mr. vader as i see you have some rather nice chrome jobbies on your machine?

true but to avoid scratches you need to hold the cat firmly in a vice - [to be really awful put some mustard on its bum  ]

Robbie,
I don’t put Swissol of my wheels, I use ordinary Turtle Wax.

Would this solve Toxic's problem with his CAT, using turtle wax?
Killian's measures seem a bit drastic, I know you could get a license for a dog, but I'd say the ould Garda woulld choke on his donut if you went in looking for a license for an AK47

Oh now i see, i've read the article properly this time i knew i rec'ed the swissol name. The stuff i'm on about is called autobahn wheel wax and is made by swissol, apparently its heat resistant and repels salt and other nasties from attacking your rims with its carnauba PTFE coating........ oooooh very impressive indeed.
By the way i've been washing my car with Zip wax by the turtle, and i have to say it does a good job but will invest in some zymol or similar shortly.

Mike - does turtle wax really make cleaning alloys easier?

Killian,
I find it works well, brake dust, etc just washes off.
Can also help with tar on the rims.

True, but it's either the donut shop, or the central reservation of a motorway, I've yet to see one with a hairdryer on a crap road or accident black spot. Easy Money 35 in a 30, 43 in a 40, etc

They've seen the fortunes that are being made across the water and couldn't resist..... huge increase in revenue little or no reduction in deaths

Instead of Turtle wax maybe the answer is using the cat to wax the wheels??

Unless the cat puts a turtles head on the bonnet and then you definately use the bugger to wipe it off

All the cats around me are too lardy, could do with a scrawny one to get in between the spokes on the alloys.....

Cats all they are good for are wheel spins as their guts have no grip on asphalt and for the odd dodgy  take away with boiled rice. ,
because they only feline creatures that get in or on my car don't go meaoww when stroked
