Hi guys I have a blue car and I was looking for a polish/glaze/pre wax cleaner that would fill light swirls, clean the paint and give a nice even shine as I don't have access to a dual action. Obviously I would add a good sealant afterwards.

I have picked out Werkstat Prime but was wondering if there was anything better for the money which is easy to use.

Thanks

For best results matey rather than 'filling' the swirls just get a decent polish and polish them out - better than masking over them imo

If you wanted an AIO which is filler heavy I would of gone for AG SRP, AutoBrite Euphoria or maybe Auto Finesse rejuvenate, cant quite remember if acrylic prime is a heavy filler or any for that matter! someone else should know.

Thing is is that my car's paintwork isn't bad at all. So polishing by hand may induct marring as i can't break down the compound like a DA would.

Agreed, fillers are awesome if the overall paintwork only has slight imperfections, plus theres no point polishing the car on a weekly or even monthly basis! Once a year polishing is enough with right wash techniques and correct maintainence.

Glossworkz followed by blacklight imo

from personal experience thats a combo that works very well!

people reccomend following blacklight with hybrid V7 too, i've never tried this! just followed up with petes 53 and it's a very nice combo imo.

saxo paint isn't that hard, polish by hand using a german foam polishing pad and some menzerna. best way on a budget from experience.
