Which Polish/Wax
hi all,
just after your views and advice if possible on which polish you find best,which brings the best out in a shine and protection and also do any of them reduce those dam swirls or at least help hide them.
thanks

Super resin polish is prob best for swirls but get yourself a daz 6 polishing machine and some lube and do it yourself to make a proper job
Do a search on detailing world for tution on it
Or pay a detailer £250 aprox
Hence DIY route is cheaper and great fun for a few days

you could try the swissol products. i bought a "samurai" kit especially for jap cars. not cheap but gives outstanding results provided you are willing to put in the enormous amount of time and effort required.

use meguires scratch x and meguires last touch detailer as a lubricant to remove the fine swirls using a buffing machine.
then follow with meguires carnuba wax for luster and shine
then to protect all your hard work i always use Colinite double coat wax "probably the best you can buy" only around £25 and will protect and bead water for months on end.
you'll get good deals on sites such as
elite car care
monza car care

I've use Samurai for years now, But I'm now trying "Mirage" with a slightly higher %.
It's not cheap, and the application is quite in depth, but the results are fantastic

Meguires tech 2 liquid wax
i found beter than auto glym super resin as it removers swirls but unlike the polish its a wax so it layers and protects the paintwork. the more u do it the better it works.
for even better results first use the meguires smooth clay kit and spend a good day on it, it will be well worth it!!!!!

Dont AG do sealants? Only recently have they done that HD wax.
I find that the Auto glym Extra gloss protection works well with Super resin polish.

If you have Swirls Meguiars Swirl-X.
If You have and it's a dark car Poorboys Black Hole Glaze
If you don't have Swirls HD Cleanser.
After any of these Autoglym HD WAX
Believe me this product is awesome

It's a NUR SpecS.
I have never had the pleasure of using Dodo juice I approached them about becoming a stockist 12 months ago but they said they had enough in my area.
So it's now Meguiars' Autoglym, Valet-Pro, and Poorboy's.

Autoglym HD is way better, Beads for up to six months, and you can get 33 applications (cars) out of a single pot, I have left it on overnight and up to 36 hours and it still comes off a treat. Trust me I know what i'm talking about here

915 Is a good wax and I used it in my line of work for two years or more, You can over apply it, it sticks like the proverbial in the wrong conditions ie (warm and humid)

know what you mean about it sticking, needs 2 passes at buffing it off to get rid of it all.
left mine when it was sunny, clouds came out but left it on to let it cure,
still the first decent wax i have bought, was using turtle wax before this

I can recommend the Poor Boys range.
The Polish and superswirl remover are better and easier to use than SRP and the Black Hole glaze brings darker colour cars up amazingly!
Finishing off with Ex-P sealant or Nattys wax really adds depth to the shine and offers decent protection... again, better and longer lasting than Autogylm extra gloss protection.
