    Can you polish your car too often?

    I have been using Autoglym stuff since 17! When I was a poor student, Autoglym Super Resin Polish, Shampoo and Bumper car and bottle of there tyre dressing used to see me through. Most Autoglym products apart from the shampoo I find better than the Meguiars Consumer range equivalents.

    Car wash with inbuilt wax.

    The Aquawax is meant to be used while the car is wet before you dry.

    Car wash with inbuilt wax.

    Will add to the finish, no danger of it stripping them.

    Exhaust Condensation

    Don't let Rusty Paul see this thread, he is sure his exterior paint will stop it rotting inside out !!! ;) As said they all do it. Motorway slip roads early in the morning in winter always equalled a misty back screen.

    Polishing Headlights

    Just try some Autoglym Super Resin Polish by hand first and see how it goes. There are specialist plastic polishes out there. As said a machine polish cleans up plastic lenses nicely.

    Cheers guys. Chris - I think I maybe even busier next year, so even less chance to take pics, even thinking of shelving the 50D purchase now.

    Fantastic set - Birds seat and the Shot of Clarkie at the airfield are my two faves. I second your comment on that special GT race.

    Can you polish your car too often?

    SRP will hide as many as it removes as it is very mild, working by hand to do swirl removal is very hard work, a machine polish is the easiest route and the most successful if you are looking for real defect correction.

    Car wash with inbuilt wax.

    Dito the above - You can use the Duragloss all over including the glass and trim the Autoglym only seems to work on the paintwork.

    Car wash with inbuilt wax.

    I would advise a wax as you dry product rather than a wax in the shampoo product. Wash the car with your normally shampoo, rinse and then spray on one of the wax as you dry products and dry. Unlike the waxes in shampoo's which may add a tiny amount of protection you can get some proper...

    Can you polish your car too often?

    I can't Megs endurance not to splatter everywhere - horrible tat. Blackfire Long Lasting Tyre Gel or Poorboys Bold and Bright for me. A safe wash technique in the fact of not inducing swirls Brembo, decent lambswool mitt, two bucket method and a good drying towel. Most swirl marks are wash...

    Can you polish your car too often?

    Claying removes any waxes and polishes on the paint which lots contains fillers that hide any defects (minor scratches and swirls), taking it back to squeaky clean paint. This gives you a true indication of what you paint is like. Clay will just remove the embedded stuck on grime washing alone...

    Can you polish your car too often?

    Polishing by hand with SRP will remove little to no clearcoat and you could probably use it oncer a week for a cars lifetime with no noticeable amount of clearcoat removal. Polishing with any real kind of polish or compound especially by machine is where you can over polish paint. Something...

    advice please

    Any decent shampoo will give a good finish after washing if the car is well sealed or waxed if you use the correct dilution ratio (too weak and it will not clean effectively, to strong and you will diminish the protection and finish left behind by your wax/sealant). Duragloss Wash seems to give...

    Anyone recommend a good claybar?

    Depending what the clay reveals you may need something in the level of abrasives that Meguiars Scratch X has. What colour is your car ?

    Really odd & a little hard to explain!

    Had a ticking type noise in the 106 when the pads where falling out of the rear caliper.

    Quiet morning at work gave me the chance Mr Fubar. Cheers all. 106 is still on standard wheels and suspension - not had a chance to do anything.
