Welcome to bankrupt anonymous.

What car is this for? If it's a Clio, 203s is not required. Final Finish (FF) should be fine on Clio paint, but for the tougher marks, 3.02 Intensive Polish (IP)

You have quite a few polishes listed, P1, 203s, 85 and Blackfire...

Lime Prime is more of a prewax cleaner, but is also good on Clio paint by machine. Do you have a machine as the Menz polishes are best by machine...?

 

[JD]

Oh and make sure you get two buckets for the 2BM.

 

[Kane.]

Yeh two buckets i have the g220 remember ? its for a few cars (hence a few different polishes) as im doing families etc at the moment im doing my mums vw polo next but its not vw paint its just plain white respray.
After reading gallys 'winter protection' thread he reccomended the p1 to do by hand ? Will the p203 give decent gloss if i use on a finishing pad then ? Would the 203 and 85 be enough and ok to use by hand ?

 

[richy22]

Redmist is shite...

 

[Kane.]

Snow foam is valet pro and ph neutral.
Clay bars are dodo Bling or something 12 pound for two.
And smart gel for trim/tyres

I only got it because i was reading good write ups about it, off the list now anyway.

Ah OK. VW paint reacts well to 203s, so that is fair enough, but work in times might be longer with just a DA.

I thought he fell out with P1... Hmmm. It depends on what you are trying to achieve, correction I presume with a machine and products listed above? If so, forget hand correction on anything but the softest paints (like Renault lol). Machine wise, I would suggest 3,02 then refine wtih 85 personally. 203s should burnish down well on VAG paint however, and leave little if any refinement necessary.

D'accord.

I4D Lime clay for me, but I'm sure the DJ stuff is just fine.

Replace with Zaino Z8 GF.

 

[Kane.]

Right ok i only need hand polishing for them hard to get to parts. Yep im after correction the polos paint is in a state.
So just keep the menzerna polish ? Ill go with the zaino too thanks

 

[JamesWilson]

Hi-jack in progress... whats with the hate towards redmist ? i've read good stuff about it.

If you're talking hard to reach areas, I presume things like under the bonnet and door shuts? If so, look into Werkstat Prime/Prime Strong. It's a chemical cleaner that also lays down a decent protective layer. Awesome product for hard to reach areas where you just want to clean and protect, not correct.

There are much better products out there and I haven't got on well with it in the past.

 

[Kane.]

I mean like the front bumper part where the fogs are, the g220 wouldnt go in there. The werkstat is getting added aswell would deff come in handy. Thanks

Spot pads lad

View attachment 50684

 

[Kane.]

Oh no i got them i just cant get machine into some places :0

 

[JD]

You will be surprised how well you will get on with pads like that. There is almost always an angle that allows you to correct the area.

Failing that, IP3.02 or 203s on a hand cut pad may be the only option open to you. In which case - linky

 

[Stuiemc]

APC cleaner maybe?

G101 lad.

I'm actually a fan of Red Mist, the Tropical version though. As for your list, it's probably pretty complete but I don't see products for the interior like a carpet/upholstery cleaner + brushes, and leather products.

Rimwax isn't rubbish, so i'd just use that untill you need a new wheelwax, and then buy the PB one. (will probably cost you 3 years to use up all the rimwax).

Perhaps think about a rotary polisher if you tend to do others peoples cars too . And a good glaze, if you go carnauba due to the good weather in spain, think of ClearKote Red Moose Machine Glaze.

Is Collinite 915 the only wax that you own? You can upgrade that to a better looking wax, even the ClearKote Carnauba Wax (liquid) has a warmer and deeper shine.

 

[JD]

Not sure where Spain came into the conversation? Have I missed where the OP is based? What have you been drinking Martijn :rasp:

I personally disagree - I had/have RimWax and have used it once. I really don't like AIO products as I'm prefer the idea of each process separately (maybe I'm old fashioned!!). Much prefer something like C5 or PB. I think the list above is what he "could" buy, Martijn, so not necessarily what he's bought already

Just doing exterior for now ill see how i get on with rimwax it wasnt expensive so i can always go PB (probaly will) going to get a bit more practise with the da and then go from there.
I have ag hd which is 'ok' lasts around a month :-/ and i am purchasing the clearkote liquid wax from some company called wax-on
