Polishing a freshly painted car?

[LowlifeDubber]

Is it just a wax on wax off job then?

Good grief my neighbours are gunna think im bonkers im gunna be bloody hours doing this.......CANT WAIT

sealants offer high uv protection and longer durabilty than carnauba wax but can lack in terms of finish which is why we use wax ontop of sealants, you dont have to as a rule but we put wax ontop to lift the gloss,and also beading.

jetseal 109 is far better the poorboys exp.

Ok so sealant is on the list.

Now im getting into this detailing business and im quite excited about it(does that make me sad :embarassed:)

However i read lots of reviews and saw everybody saying how good Dodo juice supernatural is.So i thought hey ho i will get some of that!

Then i saw the price and nearly choked on my sausage butty!

Im keen but not that keen!

Can you guys suggest a good wax,again for a feshly painted metallic black car that would have been painted a month.

Something sub £30 please?

Or am i being a tight arse?

Thanks again guys.

lol no your not sad, its a good to look after something you spend alot of money on to keep running etc, ive been doing it at pro level for 16yrs and still love doing it and will be doing it till i retire.

yes supernatural is an awesome wax and dont be put off by the price because a 200ml tub will last you years, ive got a panel pot and have used it 4 times and havent really dented it, my 200ml tub ive used 6 times and again its hardly dented it, the wifs bmw comact has been wearing it for nearly 6months now and its still protecting it from 2 layers.

consider megs#16 which isnt expensive and offers good durabilty and the finish is good too.
collinite 915 is another good choice for the money.

i have collinite 845 and i tihnk its great for a lasting wax.. not as good as my dodo light fantastic but still an awesome wax 

[Dan J]

i use 845 for winter protections, its a very durable wax but lacks bling due to its hybrid properties.

Thanks again for the replies lads.
Glad to hear I'm not a sad t*at ha ha

I have a feeling that if I buy anything else other than supernatural I'm always going to be wondering how much better it is, and will regret it.
It's just the £95 price tag that's a lol hard to swallow!
I see the little 30ml pots are about £16 or so.
Don't suppose I could get more than a panel out of that though?

Also where is the best place to store all my cleaning stuff?My garage is carpeted but not heated,am I better off leaving it invent house?or once again am I being anal and it doesn't really matter? Lol

Thanks again lads

panel pot should be plenty to do the cars a couple of times, get one and see if you think its worth the expenditure

keep them somewhere wherever you want, it doesnt matter too much really. avoid damp places

unless you want us to say "it MUST be kept indoors" to get it past the mrs

in which case

IT MUST BE KEPT INDOORS 

[LowlifeDubber]

Ooooh if a panel pot will do the car a couple of times i might get one of them,see how it goes and then buy a big pot.

As for storage,it wasnt so much a case of getting it past the missus(if only she went in one of the spare bedrooms she would find 2 pieces of glass,a rear bench seat,4 doorcards a parcel shelf and a 15"sub in a box) hence why that door is closed atm

The garage is nice and dry so i will put it on my racking in there then.

Regarding the panel pot,the tin looks quite small,how am i going to get my big mitts/cloth in that tin?
