Best polish

[nokiaman2002]

Want to make my sei shine like a mirror - have seen a few cars around and the polish on them is amazing I normally use autoglym but im not convinced this is the best - any ideas guys/gals???

Depends on what Auto Glym product your using, there are extra gloss products, both as a cream and a clear, that really bring the shine up, but they will only be really effective if you've clayed the car first.

Cheers

i use wurth rapid finish can be used by hand or with a buff removes fine scratches caused by car wash etc..
min effot required to get the polish off once it has dried

What is claying the car? I have seen those clay bars in the shops but never really bothered looking at them

if its your first time with clay i'd suggest you try

(auto clay soft)

other clays need you to use a quick detailer as a lubricant which is circa £7 a bottle where as the BH uses normal tap water

this is a good guide

keep it warm and fold regularly

as for a polish Autoglyms super resin polish is one of the best i've used

then to seal/wax something like BH auto balm

or collinite wax

If there are any RDS or swirls, it's going to need correction carried out to make it really shine.

I have found the best polish is autoglym's ultra deep shine. The finish is amazing!

Jet Seal 109 is supposedly the bogs ******'s

i have tried it in the past and it is a real swine to buff off and doesn't seem to last overly long in my experience but it does fill the swirls rather well..

Yeah it is hard to get off, but the mirror shine it gives is immense. Ive found it lasting for weeks tho


Its funny thing polish - everyone has different tastes.

i use meguiars quick clay every few months to remove crap off the body work and autoglym polish, can't remember which one now :chin:

i use turtle wax colour polish works a treat and then the actual hard wax lots of elbow grease involved but the finish is well worth it

:bang:

Its too abrasive to be used week in week out. It will kill your paintwork.

 

[MAREA MAD]

i never had any probs with it you must be usin to much elbow grease

 

[punto_matt]

I dont use it. Just because you cant see any doesnt mean its not doing any.

 

[MAREA MAD]

wat do you find the best and i'll give it a shot at the weekend

 

[punto_matt]
