To wax, or to polish, what's the difference?

[AndyP & Lenore]

Your car to have paint work looking top dollar then you should get someone who knows how to use a rotary or a PC to do the first stage for you.

What you describe above will certainly protect what your car paint work is like at the moment. But no hand work will improve to finish unless like vintageb3 said and you wet sand. I myslef wet sanded the rear or my E46 just at certain bits that really needed some work. It was OMG what am I doing took 4 days from start to finish to get it just right and I am talking just doing a small area.

On what product best to use honestly you can go on to the detailing forums and read many many posts on what product people think is best. It is all down to personal choice.

Cheers Fi. I'm looking forward to this. Gonna take my time and get the paintwork really seen to in the spring. Whether that is me doing it or I buy a Porter Cable or I punt it off to a pro to do the PC'ing I don't know yet.
