today ive just clayed my first ever car using the mequires quick clay setup, and lets just say im amazed with the results, :smiley: next up i want some decent polish that i can use by hand to get swirlys out, now i know a machine would be best but ive spent all my money on tyres and trying to maintain 2 mk2s. can anyone recommend anything, ive got the mequires 3 stage (paint cleaner/polish/wax) but im ready to move on to the next level now as cleaning my cars is addictive. Ive got some dodo juice wax on the way so im after the bits to use inbetween,
And whats all this srp or whatever i keep reading u guys replying with?.
Ive always enjoyed cleaning my cars over the years but only ever used what ever i had around, normally turtle wax :rolleyes:, now however im starting to get the detailing bug.
Cheers in advance

SRP = Autoglym Super Resin Polish (The red square)
Great as a filler polish if you dont have access to a UDM or Porter cable polisher as it fills in the "swirl marks" on the car, meaning that when the light hits the car they are not as clear to see as before.
I use Nattys blue paste wax combined with Zymol cleaner polish that I got from Hellfrauds, and that seems to get good results when doing by hand.

ive found meg's scratch-X swirl remover to be very good

If your doing it by hand mate dont expect great results of getting rid of swirls. SRP as the guy said above is a good all round product and its pretty cheap to !
