What to use?

[yerdusk]

I have just got some auto glym paint restorer to get rid of a few little marks, and just generally get some shine back. What would you recommend to follow it up with? Normally i would just use turtle wax extreme polishing wax, but fancy something a bit different! I want it to gleam again!:oops:

Look a the the auto glym wax or there is meguiars stuff?

I prefer Auto Glym and would recomend it..

www.carwashnwax.com the xxx paste wax is good, but it is definatley worth more to fork out for the 50/50 wax! have a look in hesslevtrs thread for results on the 50/50 wax.

I've just recently got my first megiuars clay bar. Use that after the wash and before the polish/wax and you'll see the difference straight away! Its amazing!

[yerdusk]

is it the meguiars quik clay that i should use?

[hesslevtr]

[hesslevtr]

[hellonpluto]

is it the meguiars quik clay that i should use?

thats the fella

[yerdusk]

i think i will try the mes quick clay and finish with some autoglym super resin stuff. Will post a thread with some pics when i do it. will probably be the end of the week. maybe even do it tmrw!

[platty]

just ordered my quik clay!

[Bissee_99]

thyere is no point claying your car if your not going to protect the paintwork after, i would invest in decent wax before clay.

[yerdusk]

yes well what wax would you reccomend?

[hesslevtr]

as me and him said the 5050 is great look at my pics

you can get cheaper stuff from megs and other companys depends how much you want to spend

I use aulo glym super resin polish, followed by Meguire's wax. Leaves a super smooth finish and seals the paint beautifully!

[yerdusk]

ok thanks, will be doing it tmrw as long as weather is good!

[VTSKris]

If you already have the super resin polish try following it up with the auto glym Extra Gloss Protection, ment to be very underated and a very good combo to use.
