could you recommend what to use on my laquered valver, because its a bit swirly, Im currently using Mer polish after a good wash and shammy with a synthetic thingy, cheers Dom

You working by hand?

It looks Naples from your avatar?

Working by hand, its going to take some elbow grease to rermove the swirls, best bet is to try some Meguiars Scatch X and a folded Terry Towel to add some more bite. Will take some time and effort to do a car though.

Follow that up with a good polish, sealant and then maybe some wax if you are feeling like going the whole hog.

I would try, Autoglym Super Resin, seal with there Extra Gloss, and a good carnuba wax after like P21s.

Look into a good wash mitt or pad rather than a sponge, to help stop swirl marks.

yep Naples, already using a wash mit, whats the difference between seal and wax? thanks for the advice- off to halfords

In general a sealant lasts longer than a wax.

Both protect your paint.

 

[domn8]

so is Mer polish to be followed with a wax?

 

[domn8]

as I already have Mer polish could I use that and follow it with a wax like p21?

 

[Rich]

Should work fine mate.

Use the Mer first like you say and then top with the P21s

Just a quick question for r-jay:
Did my claying today, paint came up nicely. Followed this up with the AG super resin and extra gloss like u said. Gonna do the p21s wax tomorrow. Should I give the car a hose down and dry in the morning to get rid of any contanimates that might have gone on the car over night, or would it b ok to use straight away? Cheers m8, matt.

Oops just seen your pm! - Sorry.

You could take the risk and quick detail the car, or give it a quick wash which would be safer.

I wouldnt just apply the wax without doing one of the above to be honest.

Hope this helps, glad its going well so far.

Cheers

Rich

No probs m8, will probably give it a quick wash then. Cheers again for the advice m8.
