After polishing

[danposs86]

I usually just give my car a good wash (two bucket, auto glym shampoo etc) followed by a good drying.

 

Sometimes I use tar remover if it needs it.

 

Then I give it a polish using Super Resin from AG.

 

My cars silver, would anyone recommends something to apply after it to look after the paint and to keep the shine and bodywork looking cleaner for longer.

 

I don't want to spend silly money, something around 10 to 15 quid, that will last a fair few cleans lol.

dodo juice is used alot at the moment and is very good,you'll either want....

 

dodo juice light fantastic...or....

 

dodo juice diamond white....both are specified for light coloured cars,ie whites,silvers etc.

 

but at roughly £30-£35 a pot its quite expensive,but the results are great!!

what about some wax mate, surely autoglym do some top quality wax.

[danposs86]

That dodo juice is just too expensive, can't justify spending that much on a car cleaning product.

 

What wax, within the price range I stated, would people recommend?

[SLEEMAN]

autoglym, meguiars gold class clear coat wax, on budget turtle wax do a good range of waxes!

imo gold class clear wax is crap!,i use the step 3 carnauba wax from meguiars and found that good £8-£9,its what i use on mine after a coat of srp. Edited May 4, 2008 by bongo

Autoglym do another product that you apply after super resin to protect the finish called extra gloss protection.

On my silver escort i run the super resin polish over it the applied the extra gloss protection Stayed nice and shiney for ages

Turtle Wax - Colour Magic has always done it for me!

 

- Yes I know it's amature stuff... but it works for me!

Saw that in a different thread. How easy to use is it? Also how long will that tub last for?

[Mike C]

Depends how often you use it.

 

You don't need to use very much at a time, but compared to more expensive stuff like Dodo Juice, Zymol etc, it doesn't last as long. For instance, you may was with those products twice a year, or possibly upto 4 times. Whereas with the Poorboys, you could really wax with it upto as often as once a month or something like that, depending on how many miles you do, on what kind of roads etc.

 

An 8oz Jar should last you a year on one car though I would have thought

 

 

EDIT: and as for ease of use, you really couldn't get any simpler. It's a breeze to work with
