whats the best polish?

[cooperchris]

Once my car is back from getting painted i'm looking to buy some good polish/wax for keeping it shiny.

I have used autoglym before and others say Meguiars is good, I just dont know.

I also found tyre dressing in the latest Modern Mini mag (Rubber Dub). Has anyone used this yet to tell me what its like?

I use Raceglaze 55 wax for the summer and during the winter I use Werkstat acrylic sealent

I used to use autoglym on my last cars and found it good, But do you not find it powdery when you wipe it of,Especially the window polish?

I'm using autosmart the now an its not to bad. Just looking to try something new :thumbs up:

I'll vouch for Tim at Clean your car always very prompt service and good value and if you have a problem it gets fixed simple as.


I just did the car with the following then took it on a Tour of Scotland:argh::argh::argh: mind you it will wash easy.

Sonus SFX-3 Final Finish Polish

Meguiars #7 Show Car Glaze (you have to apply this right) buff in small circles to break it down as apposed to stretching it with large strokes)

Meguiars #16 Paste Wax ( This stuff for the price is fantastic in my view)

yes do find powdery i dont use the window polish i wax my side and back windows i can not mind what wax i use tho :blush:

[Stewart]

Turst me if you Carlack the Windows you'll never use anything else. Example there on the Highland Run when we had that 20-30 mins heavy rain the water just sheeted off the windows. AG Fast Glass is great for the inside Windows.

I swear by the Autosmart polishes Platinum is fantastic really easy to use no powdery residue and their WAX is the best I have used. It really oes come down to personal preference and certain products suit different colours so best bet is to have a scout around on Detailing World to see what others use.

Dj need for speed polish is good but prefers a Dj wax to go with it,
as for waxes Meg's No16 for quantity, price and durability, Collinite476s for extra durability and both below £20.

Turst me

Eh ........................... no thanks :rolleyes:

[Mon the fish]

Klasse All-In-One is a good polish; plenty of choice for waxes, I'm using Collinite 915 at the moment, very happy with the results.

[Stewart]

Eh ........................... no thanks :rolleyes:

Now now play nice or I'll paint my Alloys black.

Just keep the polish off the trim, its a killer to get off.

Well worth spending 10mins masking the trim/paint junctions beforehand compared to hours of scrubbing later. You may feel silly doing it - but it's well worth the result. :-)

Use a rubber( eraser) to get polish off trims :)
