Craig855S Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 z8 isnt really a sealant, it doesnt last long and is advised to be used for occasions where you want your car to stand out. Anyway. What trig said is good advise, collinite for long lasting or Megs #16 for good shine but not as long lasting, personally i think the #16 is brilliant, but its a glaze not a wax What's the difference? Does that make the collinite better because it's a wax? even though its not as shiny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for the megs glaze/wax: Look at the label printed on the tin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trig Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 to be honest, you probably wouldnt notice the difference, the differences are so subtle its difficult for anyone to see because the final finish is all down to the prep work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an autoglym combination that I can use to give a nearly as good a result as using several menzerna polishes and Dodo Juice Supernatural, probably good enough for 95% of people not be able to tell the difference. Its about knowing how to use products to get the best from them, and how it suits the vehicle you are working with. Craig, #16 is a classic, just dont put it down too thick or it sets like concrete, really thin layers, you barely need to see it on the surface. If you can see the blue of the wax, you have put too much on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trig Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 You will want to use a slightly abrasive polish on that. If you are polishing by hand, Megs Scratch X could be very useful. Once you have the colour back, seal your hard work in with a couple of layers of wax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
