Been using this stuff for a while now does a good job with the recommended brush (but i'm sure any brush will do)

Heres the stuff..

Anyone used this http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_204351_langId_-1_categoryId_255236

Its cheaper and its got the brush with it  :o
It's an odd looking thing ain't it  ;D ...one review stated the top part came/broke off after 10 min use  :-\

In terms of removing general marks and dirty stains it proved to be very good. However, it is a bit flimsy and the plastic cover that you press for operation broke off after 10 minutes. The top end also snapped off and had to be replaced on a number of occasions. However, it didn't affect the overall performance but if you pay for a product you would expect all the functionality to work well.
