Which wax do you use?
« on: 02 February 2004, 16:02 »
I use to use turtlewax until I was up at Demon Tweeks and bought a bottle of Mequiars Liquid wax. It comes with it's own little applicator and goes on nicely. Brings it out really nice and shiney like they claim. Also smells nice too ;D
Mk4 Golf 150PD

2 lots and to applications!!, after a wash i bang black turtle colourmagic on!! (fills those teeny scratches ,black cars a bummer to clean!!) then once dried and buffed off i then go over again with simmonze 'maxwax' gives it a fook off shine and is really easy to wax on wax off!! (not that i do it that way got one of those buffers things) this is what ive done for years just varying the colour magic pending car colour!!! ;D

I've tried all manner of different manufacturers (for all car cleaning products, not just polish) but every time I keep coming back to Autoglym stuff.

Its not the easiest stuff to work with the car needs to 110% dry, and you can't skimp on effort -  but I've never achieved the same results with another manufacturers stuff - its terrific.

Smell is first class too! Which is important if you're sniffing it all day!

i will also recommend Turtle Wax Colour Magic........My golf is tornado red and it brings out a brilliant finish that people always comment about.

Turtle Wax Tyre Gel is good stuff aswell - i apply it with a paint brush which brings out a deep shiny black look

Car Wash - I use a cheap brand of Car Plan Triple Wax which is ?2 from Wilkinson - cheap as chips seeing as you get about a litre of the stuff and I usually overdose the car in it.....reackons its got triplewax whatever that means

The liquid stuff is great Dinky, goes on nice and buffs off with no powder. The hard stuff is a bit more difficult though....worth it.....but hard work!
