Cheap but good wax/polish?

[JJ!]

Selling our Saphire Black Corsa which needs a bit of paintwork TLC. Looks alright out of the sun bar a few scratches. But when the sun catches it you can see swirl marks and smear marks from previous polish attempts.

Any recomendations to fix this is a fairly tight budget as proper poor right now, but need to advertise the car!

Tesco car wax

How tight a budget?? 30-40??

Poorboys black hole will hide/mask the swirls pretty well on a black car.

Or some clearkote might be good..

R222's is perfectly acceptable. Or P21s.

Jamie what's nattys blue like?? think I heard you say you'd used it at some point?

 

[JD]

Very very good. For a week or two lol.

I can now top up as have access to a decent garage.

If I am going away from home for a couple of weeks I will put p21s on. P21s are on the lights and windows.

I'd just give it a really good wash, tyre shine and bumper black..

90% of people who look at buying a car won't pay attention to swirl marks.

It's only people who know how to sort them, know what they are and how they're caused, and most of these people can sort them themselves!

some AG super resin polish will fill most of the defects and brighten it up, I wouldnt both with wax just to sell it, maybe put a few coats of AG EGP over the SRP?

 

[ben_p]

all from your local halfords too^

 

[richy22]

P21 is now R222 isnt it??

 

[JD]

The basic one is, yeah. But there is also still P21s and "100% P21s".

 

[richy22]

Got a link for the P21s?? On CYC they list R222 as being P21s just rebranded for Europe

That might be why they both came up, was looking through Autopia (US company). Ill have a look over lunch mate.

Super resin polish or Autosmart mirror image will tidy it up

 

[Jaff]

SRP, and the chemical guys xxx hardcore paste, is good and cheap (about £15 a tub posted)

 

[Mesa]

Another vote for Auto Glym SRP and EGP

 

[JD]

AG SRP/EGP is the old faithful, nothing wrong with this whether you are a pro or just starting out.

 

[Ads_172]

As said, if you're just looking to tidy things up, mask some swirls and give a nice reflection then I'd wholly recommend the good ol' SRP and EGP combo.

 

[Aluco]

Meguiars nxt gen tech wax is pretty good, (the purple bottle with green cap in halfords)

Plus its cheapo.

 

[BRUN]

AG SRP, or Poorboys Black Hole

 

[RussZS]

You want to clean the paint, cheaply... SRP.
