Meguiars Endurance tyre gel is very good for a finishing touch on your tyres.

Everything seems to be there, however I seem to have 2 Final Polishes...but no Super Final Polish...


Might drop them an email.

look on the bottom of the bottle... the product codes will be different... working out which one is which is nigh on impossible!! 

tip: once you find out write in big f*** off permanent marker which one is which.. ie. heavy or light cut...

could you also post up on here as my product codes have worn off my bottles after a spillage and I need to re-mark them... tar very muchly! 

[warnesey333]

aha!

Ur a good guy you

Give me 2 mins

[warnesey333]

ahaha i'm a bit of a dick you know.

Anyway, they both have sticky labels on the bottom which clearly state which is which  :embarassed: :embarassed: :embarassed: :embarassed: :embarassed:

Super Finish = PO106FA
Final Fish = PO85RD

Hope that helps

trust me... the labels will wear off! label the bottles with permanent marker

i can never work out menz polishes and in which order they should be used... it's not exactly 'clear' is it?

which menz polishes do you have and in what order will you use them in?

[warnesey333]

well I was under the same impression.

There's always these different cut levels and different cutting pads.

Anyway, before I actually bought this kit, (I have the sampler kit here: http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing/polish/menzerna-250ml/menzerna-250ml-sampler-kit/prod_220.html)

I found this guide that shows you which to use!

Page 19/55 is what you want! I will be giving this a go tomorrow, look out for some before and afters and also tape pictures! the bonnet is a MESS and i'm going to be taping half off and seeing what a difference  I can make.
