Help Black Gold Fine Scratches

Think i will just polish it with Autoglym Super Resin and see how it goes . Used the zymol wax the blue one from halfords but it seemed to stain the paint, like it was leaving marks even when i rubbed it off ...

 

[JJ172]

I use the Autoglym shampoo and silicon resin polish - cant fault either! Cant say Ive ever had the time/inclination to then apply the extra gloss protection!!

yes ive noticed that but it comes off with extra buffing or going over afterwards with extra gloss.

So any UK source of the PakShak clothes? Their web-site is off line at the mo.

Any easily obtainable alternatives?

you can try http://www.waynestowels.com/http://www.waynestowels.com/ , he is a usa dealer, but his towles are arguably better than pakshaks, for a uk supplier all you got is http://www.erazer.co.uk/http://www.erazer.co.uk/, never tried him though

 

[Rich]

Never heard of Waynes towels before? Better than Pakshak ?

 

[182_blue]

so i have been told, pakshak are cheaper, but waynes towels has a slight edge on quality

 

[182_blue]

will be getting some samples soon, so i will try the cd test on them

 

[182_blue]

also try http://www.yosteveshop.homestead.com/mf.htmlhttp://www.yosteveshop.homestead.com/mf.html for microfibre wipes

Let us know how they measure up.

182_blue - Im still in awe of that piccie m8 - the difference was amazing.

Id suspect Topper has a mild version of that on the right of the picture. If he has, its nigh on identical to the problems on mine. And like you, all the swirls marks were there when I took delivery of the car from Renault.

WTF do you use Reno? Brillo pads?!

D.

 

[Brazo]

^^Got the klasse twins today!

For those who want a price from pakshak contact him on this email, explain broadly what you want and he should coem back to you!

Nice one Brazo, you will like the all in one. I did a mates car with it on Sunday works a treat.

182_blue, no I have gone for the Soveragn rather than the Signiture as it looks better on Black

[mr sheep]

the bodyshop near me said they do my car for 50 quid remove all the stratches.

asked for an example and he removed the scratch on my bonnet which had been there for ages for free.... took a minute to do.. i want one of the badboys.

 

[182_blue]

yeh they are pros remember, and are probably using rotary polishers, if your new to polishing you colud really damage your paint with it, that why your best getting a pc as its a random orbit polisher and its almost impossible to damage your paint with it , they say the only way you will damage your paint with a pc is if you throw it at your car

strange thing is the car was dirty and he just wacked a load of what i presume was polish on the bonnet and did it there and then.

appying polish on top of a dirty car doesnt seem best practice! but it worked the paint was also pretty hot after.

i might invest in a pc then cos @ £50 to get it done just onec you may as well just buy one!

[182_blue]

yeh i got the set for $179, it was on sale but went back up, i got an extra backing plate, with shipping it came to £140 ish, plus you need a transformer

 

[Topper182]

[Topper182]

Which extra pads did you buy with it ...

 

[182_blue]

[Topper182]

for the money you might as well get one, they take a while to wear out, but they will eventually, and deffo get some spare pads as you have to use seperate pads for each product and you can soon run out of pads
