Ok now im intrested so another which wax thread
My Cars Black, and currently i use when i can be arsed, Zymol shampoo, then i use maguirs wax then maguirs High gloss Polish, what ive found out over the AutoGlym stuff is Maguirs doesnt leave much of a white residue and is easy to get off.
When i cant be arsed i use the turtle wax minute stuff, of which personally i find mega good, so quick.
BUTTTTTTTT
Im open to diff types, anybody reccomend any others over AG and Maguirs ?
thanks
P.S When your rubbing it off do you all go back n forth or do any of you buff in circles ?

For wax, I found a great finish when washing, drying, claying, then applying Poorboys Black Hole sealant (which fills swirls and gives a great shine on its own), then followed by Poorboys Natty Blue Wax, just makes dark colours shine so deeply.
Only my opinion though!

Get a Silverline polisher (look at Amazon), approx £40 and people get good results from them. Get an old bonnet from the scrappy to practise on first, serious damage can be inflicted in the wrong hands!

Autoglym is a fantastic polish, particularly if applying by hand. It contains fillers which mask swirls.
If its chalking, then you are using too much polish.
I get the impression car cleaning isn't at the top of your list of hobbies.... if thats the case, Collinite 476 is one of the longest lasting waxes and works well on dark colours.

Das6 DA polisher for £85 is what you want will transform the car
Plenty lube on the pads and you can't do any harm
Clay bar or clay is important before waxing
I have moved from swissol and autoglym to chemical guys 50/50 paste which is fantastic value at £40 a tub
Www.Carwashwax for details in it

I have a Meguiars polisher, very good bit of kit, but as you say, not cheap.
Personally, polish wise, I use Jeff's Werkstatt trigger & gloss - very good & easy to use.
Collinite is a firm favourite for my winter protection routine.

I have a black Impreza. Which has a lot of stratches and loads of swirls. I'm going to give it a good wax and polish. But have been told by a valater that the paint on the impreza is thin. So using that clay stuff puts more straches in than its worth.

Claying a car shouldn't put scratches into the paint, although is can cause slight marring. I would suggest you are using it incorrectly if it is introducing scratches or the claybar has been dropped.
Machine polishing an Impreza shouldn't be a problem, as long as it is done correctly & witht he right products. Using cutting compound & a wool pad is highly likey to result in strike-through in the wrong hands.

I've always used Swissvax Samurai wax (and now Mirage) on my blue/black STI.
Maguires shampoo and gold polish to start
