After going to and from legoland and beeing back at work for a week i thought the car was well over due a deep clean, so i started by taking the wheels off and with some very strong wheel cleaner, cleaned as much of the crap of the wheels, then did the inside and under the bonnet, then a wash...
Me and my wench had the week of work and have always wanted to go to legoland in windsor, so we where going to drive down and back in one day but since it was 4hours from york to windsor we thought we would stay over, any who, we got to our travellodge at toddington services, parked up got our...
I just think because the turn at a high rate and that me putting presser on it on the bodywork will just give me more swrils than i started with, i dont understand how it gets rid of them, i need to see some one do it to prove thay don't make more swrils and that they do get rid of the ones i've...
After the epic fail of the scratch x, i was looking into getting a PC (machine polisher) but i am not convinsed at all, so i was thinking if some one else has one in the north yorkshire area, they could do my car to prove me wrong because i dont beleave they work, ok i've seen the pictures but i...
which one have you got? where did you get it from? and what stage's do you use it in? i am just worryed that i'll make more swrils with the machine polisher.
After the epic fail of the scratch x, i have been thinking about getting a Porter Cable (if thats what it is called?) ie a machine polisher, but could do with some advice,
With a machine polisher will it get rid of the swrill marks all together or just hide them?
How long does the shine last...
i did in the end use loads of pressure that i nearly dented the bodywork, untill it had all been worked in, and rubed it of with a polishing cloth and..... nothing? it didn't leave deep dull swrill marks like last time but all it did was give the car a shine, didn't get rind of any swrills in...
so should i rub it on untill there is nothing left of the product left? eg, just keep rubbing it in and just wipe over after? yes i washed it and then have washed it again to see if i could reomve th dull marks with no luck.
it was a clean pad i used, so i work it in to start with? and not leave it to dry? because it says to rub it in leave to dry to a white haze and buff of, but the deep dull marks aren't scratches the are big dull swrills? and i did it in the shade, i put loads of pressure when applied it that was...
i dont understand? i applyed it with a pad in small cricurls and left it to dry and buffed it of (just like it told me to) but it was realy hard to remove and has left big dull deep swirll marks which i can not reomve and look realy deep on the paint work just like the car has been painted in...
I got same Swirl Remove - Scratch X, and used in on the bonnet and i was very easy to put on and very hard to buff of and after i spent half an hour trying to romove it, it has not removed any scratches or swirls and has now made the paint dull and left deep patches of deep dull swirlls, and no...

my wash mit is on the way as is the drying towl, but as for the sealants i'm not sure about? i wash the car and dry it, then clay it, but after that i'm not sure what is next? do i Polish it with Autoglym Super Resin, then Poorboys World EX-P Sealant it, then use Meguiars Scratch X to get rid of...
