In the past I have seen some Subaru's (02c blue) that literally look like you can dip your finger in the paint The paintwork looks so deep and colourful it appears wet,. What waxes/polishes will I need to get this finish

 

there a sea of products out there to get good finishes that AG hd wax is pretty impressive also poorboys and dodo juice do some quality products for the best finish i would reccomend giving the car a decent claybar then tardis to remove tar deposits and iron x to remove the metal particles off the car from your brakes etc then if you can get hold of a da machine give the paint a light cut with then a decent finish then hand polish and wax have a look on detailing world there are a load of reviews and guides on there but be prepared to spend money as you sort of get carried away buying products well i don anyway haha

 

As craigy said above for a watery glossy finish you need very good paint prep and using a glaze product before your wax adds a nice gloss to the finish as well.SJ.

 

I always used Blackfire Wet Ice over Fire kit for the effect you describe, not cheap but lasts a lomg time http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acata...-kit-cat1.html

 

^^^^^^^^^it's very good stuff I agree.SJ.^^^^^^^^^

 

agreed not cheap but you get alot for your money try seeing how much swissvax is lol here is a little review off detailing world about the blackfire

Dodo supernatural hybrid wax/sealant seems to be getting very good reviews - I've asks for some for Christmas!
I get great results from Zaino Z5 Pro but it doesn't last very long.

 

Once the paintwork is prep'd and before your sealant I can recommend Wet Glaze 2.0.

 

As said get yourself over to detailing world. Ideally your paint would need to be washed, clayed, de-tarred, de-ironed, polished, refined (jewelled for the best results), glazed, then waxed. It's a lot of work for the best results but well worth it. Might be worth paying a good detailer and then just following a good wash regime. If you do decide to take it on yourself be warned, it is addictive and expensive!

 

Werkstat Acrylic Kit. I've said it so many times and every time people are amazed by the results.

Hi if you fancy a good intermediate system and can borrow a da, I can highly recommend the meguires microfibre kit, comes with polishing compound and finishing compound, dead easy to use and will give you glass like finish and top it off with dodo juice supernatural hybrid wax for a nice depth to the paint.

 

Cheers guys, Ohh the choices lol
