Apply polish and wax with a foam pad (by hand) then use a fluffy microfibre cloth to remove. This will minimise further damage.
Using a machine before the polish and wax stages will help remove some of the scratches.
Cheers for that mate..
Do i use the Fluffy Microfibre Cloth by hand too??..
as opposed to... with your head?
No i will be using yours mate..
btw... you are award that there is a BIG difference between an 'electric buffer' and a 'polishing machine'?
Award what award do i get??..
Do you mean AWARE??..
No im not aware as i said im New to all this Detailing Business..
Thats why im asking for Help & Advice..
Instead of Sarcasm..
Go out get yourself some Auto Glym SRP, some micro-fibres, a claying kit (Bilt Hamber I use) but the Megs one is good for starters.
Get a wax such as AG HD.
Clean your wheels first with a brush & some wheel cleaner, Bilberry is the stuff if you can get it local otherwise mail order, Wonder wheels is always a good start though & usually in supermarkets a bit cheaper.
Once your wheels are nice & shiny, wash the whole car, if it hasn't been done in a while or is really dirty, wash it twice. (some may recommend a two bucket method.....There's a sticky on here explaining it)
Once you've washed it, get claying, follow the instructions on the pack, again there is a sticky on here, basically don't apply pressure & keep the paint work lubed. Turn the clay frequently/or as it gets dirty.
Once clayed, give the car a quick wash & chamois/microfibre................Then apply the AG SRP, if the paint is bad, do this twice.
Once polished apply a coat of AG HD wax.
Black the tyres with Megs Endurance as its easily available & does a good job.
Then dress all the black plastic with AG plastic conditioner (Bumper dressing).
After all of that, it should look pretty good
Then see how you go, if you want to get more involved then maybe start building up a kit but for a basic detail, this method won't disappoint.
