    Need a Wax...

    You will struggle to individual differences of waxes on silver to be honest. I use P21s http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/p21s-carnauba-wax/prod_357.html or Optimum Car wax http://www.motorgeek.co.uk/optimum-sizes-p-167.html on my silver car over an Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection Base

    Bumpers and side bumpers faded!!!

    Another vote for AG Bumper Care Gel, rub it in well and buff the excess off well to avoid streaking.

    Confused about Waxing :P

    SRP is safe to do each time you wash BUT there should be no need though, good wash technique and you should not need to use it more than 2/3 times a yea certainly not ever time you wash - once a month tops. Remember every time you use SRP it strip everything off your paint meaning you need to...

    machine polishers

    You will know when you actually go through it as it losses all the gloss, thin clearcoat in theory however can still look fine until you actually strike through. Look very carefully at the paint especially on the edges etc and see hoe it compares to other areas of the car. The amount of orange...

    machine polishers

    And the rest for ones that actually give you a break down of layers The 400 quid ones only give you a total measure which still leaves you pretty much guessing what you think the clearcoat layer is thickness wise.

    machine polishers

    Was not a did at you btw, was in response to the people (some who have posted it on here when selling them in to people) that you can't damage paint unless you through the machine at the car etc. Buy a very expensive Paint Thinkness Gauge that measures all the seperate layers in the cars...

    Confused about Waxing :P

    P21s is a good looking wax, but is not very durable, be looking at reapplying about once a month. If you happy with the paintwork condition (i.e no defects etc) no need to re-polish every month, just reapply another coat of wax. I try to limit polishing to once or twice a year. After washing a...

    Products for a UDM

    With the IP. Menzerna Intensive Polish PO91L is the original formula, is less lubricated than Menzerna Intensive Polish (PO85RD 3.02) which means you can't work it as long 3.02. Both work well, swings and roundabouts as the 91 can give quicker work times, the longer work time of 3.02 better...

    If you where to go down the Menzerna route Hannah the finish that Finish leaves is superb, you could then use a sealant or wax as the paint would already look spot on.

    The other products used should give good flake pop too - I understand the Mirror Wet to be a Glaze like the RMG so you could use that then your wax. To measure your paint you looking at a big chunk of money. Best of just using common sense and being careful. You can polish over the stone chips...

    Removing smoke smell from interior

    You can't really deep clean and scrub it like everything else in the interior. A wipe over with a damp cloth and maybe some mild interior cleaner is all you can really do and I am not sure that will be enough to remove the smell from that part of things.
