Question for regular Autoglym Magma users. I used this on my van for the second time after buying it in the summer. After a spray of all the lower panels the 'liquid' ran out but I notice there is a heavy sediment in the bottom.

What should I add to try to dilute the product? It's water soluble and I guess I should have reread the instructions which likely suggest shaking the bottle before application.

All suggestions welcome. Thanks.

I'd suggest that you don't dilute it, I expect AG have worked out the right concentration of active ingredients.

For Regular Magma users, rather than pay £11-£12 for 500ml from Halfords and the like, Liquid Clay is the same stuff, just packaged differently for the trade. £47 for 5l from Amazon.

Hi All.

I'm currently lugging around almost 5kg of excess weight on my van in the guise of dead flies splattered across the entirety of the front end. Just wondering what you guys recommend for the removal of said unsightly mess?

TIA
