Default Few Questions...

Hey,

Usually I just wash my car using the 2 bucket method and leave it at that, but now I want to start using polishes and waxes, without using a PC.

I bought some Poorboy's Professional Polish ages ago but haven't even opened the bottle yet. What do I use to apply it by hand? Some form of microfibre or pad? Is this a decent polish? I'm not really wanting to remove swirls (The car doesn't actually have that many), I'm just in it for the shine etc.

As for wax I want something that will work well with the Posi Blue colour. I see people mention Poorboy's Natty's Paste Wax alot, so what's the blue stuff like? Again what do I use the apply this? By hand or a cloth?

I'm also going to buy some Poorboy's Wheel Sealant for when I get my alloys, and I take it I just rub that in my a microfibre?

Cheers

Cheers mate, about time I repped you for all the help your giving me!

I have a towel for drying the car.

http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/access.../prod_280.html - Is that what I would use for applying the polish to the car? Then I 'buff' it off with a polishing towel like the one you mentioned?

http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/access...r/prod_89.html - Then I use something like this to apply to wax? And again I buff it off with the correct cloth?

What type of cloth would I use to apply the sealant to the wheels?

Cheers

Just to check before I order...

Poorboys Wheel Sealant
Poorboys Nattys Paste Wax Blue
Sonus SFX Pro Applicators Pkg/2 - (Applying polish and sealant)
Ultimate German Applicator - (Same as above, want to try both)
Handi-grip applicator - (For applying the wax)
Sonus Ultimate Detailing Towels Pkg/2 - (For buffing off polish and wax. Also for general use)

That sound alright?
