    Car Wax Advise

    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...

    The above is just madness! Make sure we some some pics when the Megs stuff turns up.

    Meguiars

    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 http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/ Order the Get either 80 Speed glaze, or...

    getting rid of swirl marks

    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...

    getting rid of swirl marks

    When i hand wash cars, I use a cotton wash pad, ( couldnt really get on with the mit) http://www.raceglaze.co.uk/en-gb/dept_1.html 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...

    getting rid of swirl marks

    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.

    getting rid of swirl marks

    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...

    What you use to polish the car.

    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.

    quick 182cup question

    Found a post on the renaultsport forum about the 182 cup badge Pair of them on part number 7711 275 708 at £7.23 + VAT
  30. Rich

    What you use to polish the car.

    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.
