Two grit guards are pointless. One in the rinse bucket I don't feel is.

That would be 1:4 yes, depends how well protected the car is I guess. That will certainly remove it. I usually don't tend to find I need to lube the pads when I glaze as I don't need a long work in timeline, as you do with polishes...

Lol not at all. You should see the bikers and Porsche lightweights on a sunny weekend morning! A4 blue avant.

Lol, serious about dad spotting you, not serious about being annoyed. Our place is just back from Patterdale towards the Kirkstone Pass. Aira Force doesn't look particularly blistering, lack of rain probably which is a shame.

Oh and that's Aira Force is it not?

My father would like a word with you. Kirkstone pass is not for shooting up and down in a "loud silver Clio with funny looking wheels". LOL! You should have said something you ghey! Didn't know it was this weekend you were up there. Kev (Gally) said it was soon :(

The best thing you can do, Dean, is ask. People can advise from similar situations and from their experience. If you were to tell me that your car has Ford paint on it, I would not advise certain polishes, but would advise others. Luckily, you can rely on others to buy and receive test samples...

Spot on Dean, to be honest. Clay wise, it depends on budget and what you need from it. If you just need a decent kit to bring the paint back to glass smooth, the Megs Quick Clay Kit has all you need and is readily available from Halfrauds. Stepping up a notch, take a look at the Uber Lime Clay...

Removing light swirls and scratches was the initial post. Blackhole is a filler glaze. Werkstat Prime is a chemical paint cleaner.

Do you know what Blackhole is? And if so, why are you suggesting paint cleaners like Prime "do the same thing"? And why Prime Strong? And there are technically three types, Strong, Acryllic and Carnauba.

I wasn't having a go fella, as I know you weren't. But I have typed it out for at least four threads this week already, aswell as a few PMs, so you can understand my stance on doing it again. And it's only bloody Tuesday. Wax or sealant depends on your time scales. Can you wash weekly? If so...

Meh. Replace it.

Few points. Firstly, that is not a good excuse to get a machine polisher. Secondly, I have photos and avatars turned off at work. Thirdly, there are a million and one threads like this already, Andy. So have a search. I'm out ;)

Not at all buddy, it's a learning curve, so you ask you get :) You don't necessarily need an electric polisher buddy, so let's start with at the begining. Machines are also quite expensive (£100s). Filling is very easy to do with products like Poorboys Blackhole and Red Moose Glaze. Super...

What do you want to do? What's your budget? What have you already got? Blackhole doesn't remove swirls, it fills them. The Blackfire product you have linked to has polish in the title. So as a wax/sealant, you're not on to a winner ;)

Looks lovely! Best colour! However, some of the products are kinda the wrong away around!

Different wheels?

Hub painting? BMW.

Haha, I need to stop your Facebook news coming up on my wall. It's like seeing santa before the presents lol.

I'm really hoping that Jim is on here because he has a write up for us :star:

Yes, RMG is a filler heavy glaze, so will fill swirls when applied either by machine or by hand. I would use G101 in a dilution ratio of 1:4 personally.

A comparison between Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel and GTechniq C4.

Oh and Kane, for the BG 182 buddy, RMG is fine, but Poorboys Black Hole would have been a better choice... although something is ringing in my mind about you not being able to source it out there?

RMG is a filler heavy glaze though Jim, where as LPL is just a prewax cleanser. Depends on whether you want to fill or just create a decent surface for the wax to bond to. Agree on the snow foam delivery of G101. Great way of starting a fresh :)

Loving the end sticker! Except not many people will understand it! re dropping the clay, here's a quick tip; put old but clean towels down under where you are claying. That way, if you drop the clay, you can carry on :) Other than that, great results!

Ah good lad. Did I forget to reply to an email yesterday, or did you? I got busy so can't remember :( lol.

I love Russ' fleeting posts :)

I don't get it. But I'm glad you're you.

Re: Car Has been Wrote off again! And deep puddles. Sorry to hear lad, hope you're OK.
