Best polish and wax for my silver 1.8T
« on: 19 April 2010, 10:29 »
Hi guys,

Ive been putting of giving the motor a proper polish and wax for a while but the weathers a bit better so going to give it some tlc. Fairly new to the detailing scene but been looking through the forum and going to use the Megs clay kit, jetseal and chemical guys tyre and trim. What you think?

Im stuck on what polish and wax to go for though? Its a silver golf as mentioned in the title and if anyone had some recommendations that would be great!

Much appreciated guys!

Top results you got there!

Might look into that dodo lime prime polish. There are so many choices haha! Im ideally looking for a combination that would give me a proper mirror like finish, if at all possible of course!

I use autoglym SRP and then a coat of FK1000P Hi-Temp wax.. A lot of people on Detailing world use it..

A good wax is impossible to recommend, you will just get personal preference. If you go with any of the Dodo Juice, Poorboy's, Collinite, FK1000, you cant go wrong with any of them really. I personally love the Dodo Juice Soft Waxes.

As for polish, Dodo Juice Lime Prime will take some beating.

Cheers for that, I think I will go for the Lime Prime Polish as its been recommended a few times and I'll just pick one of the waxes from here and see how I get on  :tongue:
