Try as I might nothing I do brings the car up with the sort of shine I think should be achievable.
Detailers, please help.
Just look at this hopeless effort! :sad:

Nothing that a "refine" with a finishing polish wouldn't sort. Have a search on google for Refined Reflections - Gary isn't too far from you. His mum makes some mega hand made chocolates too....... :smiley:
-
Cleanse the paint! OR as mentioned www.refinedreflections.co.uk and for the chocs saphire chocs!
-
as above with getting it mopped with some finishing polish, seal it and wax with dodo juice for a deep glossy shine.
-
What wax have you used ?
-
What wax have you used ?
Used dodo supernatural & a quick spray of dodo red mist to finish
-
maybe just try the supernatural on its own, or try a colour charged dodo wax :undecided:
-
as said, you can put the worlds best wax on a poorly prepped surface and it wont look great - a properly prepped surface with no wax would look better.
Like Tim says, try cleansing the paint if you dont want to go the polishing route - Dodo's Lime Prime Lite followed by the Supernatural (and red mist if you want to).
You aren't trying to apply the wax thickly are you?
-
TBH thats not the best colour to get good results on.
My Silver Blue Passat is difficult too. The best results I get are using Megs Clay, Poorboys SSR1, Zymol Cleaner Wax then AG High Deffinition Wax.
As said before, it's all in the prep.
