    Boutique Luxury Waxes

    If you want something that is just nice to use, Vics concours or collectors is a cheap way of doing so.

    Boutique Luxury Waxes

    Never tried m&k Bmd were ok but nothing special, durability on a daily was average at best, they just didnt resist bonded contaminants very well. Can't remember the price of a full pot but wasn't tempted at all to buy a full pot of any. DW were quite nice to use and remove, always performed...

    Menzerna 2500 is named on the basis it removes 2500 grit sanding marks. will be fine provided you finish with a fine grade paper

    3m headlight kit

    I did my Golf headlights a few weeks back. Started with 1500 grit wet and dry, 2000, then 2500grit then polished up to finish. Removed all hazing and pitting and look new. Used less than half a piece of sand paper to do both headlights

    Don't know anyone that's used the lemon IX yet. I had a sniff of the cherry version but stuck with the normal version. Clio cjd, try another wash and QD wipe down unless you really want to strip it all back and start again.

    Windscreen badly marked

    Carpro do a glass polishing kit IIRC, but you won't see any real results without a machine polisher. and if the glass gets too hot when polishing with machine it can break or crack etc so with little experience in machine polishing I wouldn't recommend it personally

    there's nothing wrong with Z2 on any colour or finish really, its always a good performer. You might be able to get a little more depth or glow from a wax, or maybe menzerna powerlock but I wouldn't bother changing until you run out of Z2

    DA advise- First time correction and scratch removal

    I always used the older versions of menz, 3.02, 203s, and 106fa IIRC. Finding that scholl working time is quite short, especially S3 and 17 in comparison to menzerna

    Just because the beads are not uniform in shape does not always mean the wax is failing. More often than not it's something with the wax. This can be an area where the prep wasn't perfect and contamination left on parts of he panel. The wash process not removing all debris on the panel. The...

    DA advise- First time correction and scratch removal

    B17BLG Renaultsport paint is typically quite hard, very different to standard Renault paint. For serious defects an orange pad can come in quite handy

    Auto finesse waxes?

    Apply it as thinly as possible, if you can clearly see it on the panel you've likely applied it too thick. I normally apply to a couple of panels before going back to buff it off, but as always air temperature and humidity plays a part in bow long it takes to cure. After applying swipe your fi...

    elite car care stock most brands including CG hex pads IIRC. theyre pretty good for cost and shipping times as well

    DA advise- First time correction and scratch removal

    I don't like applying wax and sealants with DA so I wouldn't use the blus pad, the black pad can be used for finishing and is good for soft paints, plus its soft enough to apply glazes, pre wax cleansers and wax and sealants should you wish. so it becomes more useful than blue so may be a better...

    DA advise- First time correction and scratch removal

    Hexlogic orange, green, white cover pretty much all bases. Black if you're keen to use DA for waxes and sealants as you can use it for polishing of soft paint also. Stick with the megs polish and see how you get on, vary the compound and pad combo till you fi d something that works well with...
