Folded terry towels work well for polishing by hand, will give more bite and even pressure than any foam applicators can by hand - my method of swirl removal by before getting a machine..
Clearkote Carnuba Moose Wax is the best liquid wax I have used for looks, looks awesome on black.
Best protecting is Megs #16 which can easily be applied by machine as a pad fits in the pot.
Megs # 26 is ok too.
Same happened to mine, went to brake for some lights and nothing happened, came off the brakes and applied them again and it stopped well over the line.
I dread to think what would happened if there had been cars waiting at the lights. Never happened again while I had it.
It rained !
Probably just as well using Autoglym Super Resin, if you have any defects to correct you will need some elbow grease and something like Meguiars Scratch X or the Carlack Hand Polishing Paste.
I believe so. Cracked 6k now lol
No regrets, 106 is damn good fun, better now it has brakes - keeping me occupied until I can decide what to replace the 182 with.
I use Sonus Green Clay or Meguiars Quick Clay.
I clay using soapy water rather than Quick Detail Spray hence the wash, clay, rinse and dry.
If you are using quick detail spray to clay with wash and then dry, then clay.
Try and get as much as you can do before hand.
Wash
Clay
Dry
Polish
Wax/Seal
Clean Wheels and Arches, Engine Bay etc
Clean Glass
Clean Interior
At the show rewash if needed, quick detail the paintwork, dress tyres and trim.
This was my process last year...
I use yellow foam hand pads for nearly every product. Just use a clean one for each different product and wash them after - will last you years.
As for product removal microfiber towels.
I apply them both with foam hand pads and remove with microfiber cloths.
You need to work the SRP until there is little or nothing to remove or it will dust.
The EGP needs to be applied as thinly as you can and then it is probably to thick. If you are in the shade the longer you leave it on...
