Title: Quick Polish
Post by: rskardon on 17 June 2009, 17:28

Hi Guys, what's a good easy to use polish that is readily avaialble (ideally from halfrauds etc)... i want to give the car a Polish, Jetseal and wax (i think tha's the right order) to remove some light swirling on my Dimond Black Mk5,

Thanks,

R

Auto Glym Super Resin polish does pretty much a cracking job on any colour! Has fillers in to mask swirl marks etc.. They also do an Ultra Deep polish for dark colours but never tried it myself. You can't go wrong with Super Resin though. and 3 for 2 at the mo at Halfrauds on valeting products.

^ agree.  AG Super Resin Polish is fantastic stuff,  plus you can buy it in Halfords and other Auto shops...  Jetseal over the top will look wicked,  what wax have you got ?

Yip that's the right order you've got there,   have you thought about claying first ?  it's worth doing...  Halfords stock the Megs starter clay kit...

Yeah weather looks sh!t m8,  I was hoping to try some Heritage wax ( getting my hands on a free sample ) over the weekend but the weather doesn't look promising....

Re SRP - the secret to this stuff is to use a small amount and work it into small areas at a time,  work it until it goes clear....   That way it's piss easy to buff off and very little white powder residue..

Yes the SRP is excellent I have been using it for years. I have tried the ultra deep shine but it's hard work. You'd be better off with 2 applications of the SRP.
