Who do you think sponsors this part of the forum?

You won't get results like you have seen on the other thread without reading up and buying the correct products and tools (orbital polisher).

If you're a casual cleaner then something like Meguiars NXT or Zymol cleaner polish will do, you can get these from Halfords.

If you really want to get serious then you'll be looking at the best part of £300 to buy the right tools and products.

I like the Poorboys stuff because it's cheap, gives good results and is easy to apply and remove, but there are other brands that can do the same or better.

Take a look at Detailing World - A world for detailers by detailers. for some information and obviously Car Care - The finest products, the best advice - Polished Bliss for guides and products.

Oh yeah, StevieG is on Ebay, I've brought plenty from him in the past, he's a good seller.

Posting a few pics of cars last done with poorboys carnauba blue, regardless of the colour of your car-even though it specifies for dark colours me mate tried it on his series 1 escort rst and were blown away, now we`ve all used expensive waxes and polishes in the past however personally ive come to the conclusion poorboys polish with carnauba blue is the best polish you can get for so little effort/expense and for such a good finish.
I also use poorboys EX sealant now an again and my favourite wax is p21s though dont use this that often.

I'm a master UK distributor for Poorboy's products for these simple reasons: the products work very well, they are easy to use and offer great value for money. For enthusiasts on a budget they are unbeatable in my opinion. I can personally achieve better finishes with other products, but this involves the use of machines and advanced techniques. For these reasons, Poorboy's is the benchmark value brand in our store.

I shouldnt think you need the t-cut m8, PB's should do a better job than the t-cut,once you polished you could then use a glaze if not applie your sealant/wax.

Richie has just had in or getting in a poorboys polish which has an added sealant too it,so it will polished and protect in one shot.

What are you applying it with ?

Bin the T-Cut... terrbibe product, outdated, poor quality, does more harm than good. For light polishing duties the Poorboy's product will be ideal, if you need anything more aggressive for swirl removal then Menzerna Intensive Polish is your best bet. Both products are best applied using a German Pad.

Use your new polish to seal the wheels, will make them much easier to clean next time.
