« on: 04 May 2009, 23:54 »
hi all im tryin to find a pollish that does its job, im an x car valeter i'v tryed everythin i can think of well most of it auto glys is crap, turtle was, maguers or what ever its called, i use to use one called Muc-off mirical shine always done the job easy put on easy take off and dust free, but nothin seems to give my mk3 that cartan gleem it needs. just wanna know what all your guys use cos all your cars seem wonderful in the pic's.

Do you mean a polish for the mop, or do you really mean the wax?

Why would you want to polish after you've mopped it? Unless you mean a jewelling/refining polish?

after a mop i'v always polished it cos your taking it back down to just paint and laqure (i cant spell v well)
to give the that one coat it needs, im on about a nice soft polish that you would do once you have washed it but one that is effective looks gleemin!
its mystic blue i think its the blueish purple colour lol  :laugh:

your right, thats not a real budget  :grin:

as said, megs #7 glaze topped with chemical guys xxx wax will just about fit in the budget.

but remember, the finish you get is 98% prep, 2% LSP. no point sticking an expensive wax over poorly prepped surface.
