Some advice needed

[Slug172]

Right ive spent a while on this forum today looking into polishing and waxing. Going to invest in some AG SRP AND EGP as from what ive read the stuff i use doesn't compare with this for hand polishing. I dont have a wax i could use over the top unless i could use megs step 3? or does halfords sell one i could use? I think id be better off applying a few coats of EGP? My garage isnt totally sealed and can be a bit dusty dirty and damp so my plan is to wash the car again the day after then apply another coat or two of just EGP? I will order a decent wax which will be here by next wash so do i just use a wax then for a while? How long till i use the SRP and EGP again afterwards?

Taken from another thread:
Apply your wax in a back-and-forth motion, not in circles.

Does this apply for just applying it and not for working it in/taking it off? Im confused ive always applied and taken off in cicular motions.

Do i apply the SRP in circular motions because its a polish and the EGP in back and forth motion?

When applying I polish in circles and wax and seal in straight lines. For removal I buff off in any direction ! To be honest apply either howeber you best feel comfortable.

You can use the stage 3 over EGP if you wish. I recommend 2 or 3 layers of EGP for durability and it also looks better after a few layers. AG recommend you leave 12-24 hours between layers to allow it to cure and set up properly anyway.

I would be tempted to EGP the car after the weekly wash for 2 or 3 weeks and build the layers over that period. Depending on use no two cars will ever get the same durability but 60-90 days is not unusual for for EGP.
