I must say I have a lot of Auto Specialist stuff on my cozzy and the quality of this is far better than that of Spec-R!!! My Mrs has a lot of Spec-R stuff and even if you polish it for hours it doesn't come up any where near as good as my stuff

But isn't most of AS's stuff stainless steel while Spec-R is all alloy? SS is soooooooooo easy to clean comparred to alloy

All the alloy stuff on my car is Spec-R and is top notch - bloody expensive compared to what they were like when they first started out when I first bought their stuff though................
