Megs Wheel Brightener is said to be more effective. Of the Shelf, Wonder Wheels or Autoglym Clean Wheels should do the trick.

You miss all the best colours Jewel Violet and Aubergine

Mallard Green baby ;) Your so young Alan ....

I remember using it back in 96 on my old Astra, never again young Alan!

I always buy the touch ups from Renault or get the piant made up a the local motorfactors.

I always pre wet the panel with a wash mitt aswell. Claying can be a risky business!

Mer is shite ...

Very nice, my fave 172 colour aswell.

If it is deep you may need the primer. Normal chips I just use the colour. Never bother with the laquer.

Any shampoo should do: 2 - 4 capfulls in 500ml spray bottle here.

Carbon £40 Titanium £70 Concours £150 Destiny £400 ( I only have a sample of this sized pot) Onyx £39 BOS £120

Will smooth off the paint slightly, best of wet sanding them first then polishing.

Yes Alan - I have Zymol Carbon, Titanium, Concours and Destiny. Not tried the last one yet, but the Swissvax offerings are easier on and off aswell as look better IMO that the first 3 listed Zymols.

As said before - you have to much money if you can waste QD on claying duties ;)

Not my job no - just a hobby.

The PC = Porter Cable is the chosen route for most due to the safety margin it has being random oribital. De Walt do a random orbital polisher, and Makita one which can be forced in to a random orbital mode as well, but both spin faster than a PC and do do take different sized backing plates...

I would just use a shampoo and water mix in a spray bottle rather than the QD supplied.

P21s Looks good on Black. Depending on your Budget others look lots better. Under 25 Quid - Chemical Guys 50/50 Under £50 - Swissvax Onyx Over £50 - Swissvax Best of Show

This has worked well for me in the past http://www.cleanandshiny.co.uk/ProductDetails.asp?ProductID=9943

Fine 000 artists paint brushes also work well.

Primer, Base Coat and Laquer, hence the 3 pens. Try it in a hidden area first.

PC Will run over them fine, but will push polish into them.

Good prep, ie polished really well. Most of the cars looks comes from the polishing stagse. Get the paint nice and swril free, stepping down the polish and pad grades - endeing with a really nice high gloss finishing polish like Menzerna Final Finish. Ideally by machine.

It also can technically can damage your paint - as people have found when it instills very fine marks that need to be polished out. Make sure the clay is clean, warm, the car washed well, and plenty of lubrication used!

SRP and EGP x2 or 3 with a dedicated wheel wax here for me, either the Poorboys or Swissvax as they are cleaner free so wont strip the EGP. Collinite or Megs 16 should stand up better top the heat than most Carnubas.

It is very strong, apply it to a nicley polished face and see how dull it makes the finish. If you have any damage on a wheel it will get under the finish and cause it to flake off badly aswell.

Autoglym Super Resin and then a couple of coats of the Autoglym Extra Gloss Sealant will do the trick. You can also use one of these after the above too http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wheels-tyres/poorboys-wheel-sealant/prod_9.html...

Some form of Acid Based cleaner is going to be needed. As a one off you should be fine. Seal them up after so future cleans will need only car shampoo and water.

Unfortunatley Autoglym dont sell any Carnuba Waxes though! Some of there range is good, other bits are poo.

As above depends on the product. Waxes - P21s for example is a panel at a time and remove starght away will wet, where as Megs 16 can be applied to the whole car and then removed, others such as some of the Zymols need to sit on the panel for about a min, some Swisswax's 10 mins. Always read...
