BEST CLEANING PRODUCTS???

just wondering what everybody uses on there motors Im after some sort of cutting compound and then some wax to bring project slows paint back to life Ive already used Meguires 3 strage on it and it hasn't made much difference

[Mr Blue]

machine polish most big swirls using Pinacle swirl remover. Very fine compound.

Autoglym Ultra deep shine (black lable) then Poorboys Wax which can be used in direct sun. I never use leather to dry the car. Always use a microfibre to dry and a dry microfibre to buff.

does the job

would that mean me going out and buyin a 240v polisher? never used one I dont want to nacker the body by scorching the paint I was lookin for somethin i could apply by hand

if you don't know how to use a polisher don't go anywhere near you're car with one, you'll end up doing more damage than good.

if you've got deep swirls then, you'll have to find a company that does it, or someone on the forum near you that knows how to polish.

is it shine you're after?  the meg 3 stage is good except stage 3 finishes with a polish.  if you want a deep shine you'll need a glaze on top and then a pure wax on top of that.  different people prefer different brands but you should be find with any of the big brands; megs, autoglym, clearkote, sonus, poorboys, collinite

i personally use collinite and would recommend it but my cars silver and the wax is mint for silver cars

[Seth]

like I said m8 I want to get rid of the fine scratches and swirls first then look at building up a deep gloss Ive done it before with my old oak green valver but the paint wasn't as faded as project slow

I use meguire stage 1 paint cleaner then autoglym glym ultra deep shine (great for dark colour stuff) and then the stage 3 curbuna wax
picture below shows the results

get the meguires detailer kit

2 clay bars
detailer
wax sample

brilliant stuff
i clayed mine before it went to harewood house
paintwork felt like new takes all the crap out of the paint

really good stuff

[...joe]

the megs stage 3 wax is pretty crap to be honest, you need the NXT stuff really. i used it to good effect but now use dodo juice.

gonna go against the grain here and say i find meguires a tad over priced.. I prefere auto glym which is also expensive but i just prefere it, only my opinion of course

i wax in this routine, super resin polish, 24 hours later another coat, then i use the extra gloss shine (gold label)  car comes out looking perfect...

if i wanna say bye bye to a swirl mark. light scratch (thats not all way through to metal etc) i have found some new, or at least what i think is new, t cut scratch remover, its in a tube £4.99 @ halfords and its the Biz really really good, check it out
gotta be carefull with it tho as it does take paint off
