I dont seem to have any dusting Probs with the AG. I apply the resin very thin with foam hand pad, and the same for extra gloss. Removed with a MF without any dusting that plagues others. I used to apply it thickly and had that problem, I now apply it as thin as I can. Buying it in trade sizes I...

Will let you know , well surely be needing some bits in few months. Next Purchase is going to be some Souverän wax to see if it really is the best on Black.

It is the way to go. I think I mentioned on another thread I took part in one on the Honda S2000 Forum. At the moment I am pretty much all stocked up, have loads of new towels I havent even used yet...waiting till March the 1st lol!
Would be up for a G.B a little later in the year tho.

35 x 24 inches,which is just over double the size of the Meguiars ones I believe.
And ill bet theyre not £15 either...
Chris have tried or own alot of the megs pro range.
Really Like the Hand Polish #82, Swirl free Polish #81, Show car Glaze #7. Final Inspection and Final Detail sprays
Ones that are ok are there swirl remover #9, hi tech yellow wax #26, and Paste wax #16, Medallian Paint Cleaner, as well...
All of those V6 Colours have been standard since at least November I believe. I picked up a brochure then before I ordered my 182 and there all in there.
I have a very large version on the Meguiars Microfiber Drying Cloth from here

I try and dry each panel with one or two passes, I fold it up as its fairly large and use a dry portion per panel.
To limit drying I use the hose without a nozzle...

Pushed for time wash and quick detail spary, dress trim and tyres, clean glass.
Normal routine wash, dry, wax, trim, tyres, glass, interior etc.
Before a show, or once every 1/2 months, polish, glaze, sealant and wax. Plus all the other bits.
Once a year, clay the car and start again...

<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #407db6">Zaino is the best of them all however costs quite a bit.
Do you use Zaino? Its un user freindlyness puts me off.
For paint in good shape, two products i find really good, both are...
As for a good non acidic/abrassive cleaner for your wheels. Autoglym engne and machine cleaner/ or moorcycle cleaner do a great job without acids to harm your wheels.
Alex does some really good products

I would say go for th pro line and skip the stage 3 system.
Get either 80 Speed glaze, or 82 Swirl free polish as you main polish.
The NXt Sealant and 16 Pro line Carnuba Wax.
Personally I would go to

The polishing action of removing paint is the only way to get the swirls out.
I wouldnt dream of using a normal sponge on my car ever again, rubbing all that grit along the paint, instead of in the nap off the mitt/wash pad as others have said.
If you like Zymol Carbon, go out and try some...
When i hand wash cars, I use a cotton wash pad, ( couldnt really get on with the mit)

Much more paint friendly than a yellow sponge
For the side panels I use and up and down, top to bottom - top to bottom motion. For the roof and bonnet from...
Brand new cars with swirls in them is due to bad dealer prep. There are also products that will hide swirl marks for a while to, if you gancy this route look for products such as megs Show Car Glaze which will hide the marks rather than remove them.
Depending on the severity of the swirls its gong to take some doing without a machine polisher.
I always start with the mildist polish first and build up. If the swirls are minor 2 or 3 coats of Autoglym super resin should sort it. By removing swirls your removing small amounts of your...
Autoglym is a good mild polish you may skip that stage if you think it doesnt need it.
Yeah P21-S Concours Look Carnauba Paste Wax, it looks really good on silver and light metallics.
As its new it shoudlnt need much of a polish.
Id recommend a coat of super resin Polish, a couple of coats of NXT to get a total coverage and top with some carnuba wax, the Megs stage 3 will do fine, but if you can stretch to a tub of P21s it will give it a great look.
