how to get you car to shine like never before ?, buy a pc

[RobDon]

Just about anything will help, the Autoglym wheel seal spray is only £5, even that on it's own will help. It got 5 stars in an Autoexpress test of wheel polishes:

I agree Rob. Even just putting a coat of any wax will help them to clean easier.

I see the MuckOff one did well too.

I have never seen the kit before or tryed it, but its a bit pricey at £25

The sealer is only £5.50 on its own.

Thanks for the help i'll grab some wheel seal and give it some wax as well.


Gonna try some Poorboys Nattys Paste Wax Blue and maybe some other wax's for the car.


Any other wax reccomendations Rob as our cars are similar colour?

One that has worked very well on mine is Poorboy's blue polish with carnauba then blue Natty's.

The best combination to date though has been RMG/UPP/WG - which is Clearkote red moose glaze, 4-Star ultimate paint protection then Wolfgang deep gloss sealant, stunning results as you can see here:

I am a big fan of the hard, reflective finish of sealants rather than the warmer, softer finish of a carnauba wax.

Guess what i still have swirls! Need to get somthing abit more harsh i think!

 

[RobDon]

Optimum compound? If it can remove sanding marks surely it can remove swirls?

"Optimum Compound will remove severe paint defects without causing new ones!"

 

[Scotty_b]

Looks good, may give that a try. Im just wondering if the marks are anything to do with my superguard

 

[PhilW]

Everytime i read this thread it keeps calling me to get a PC.

I'm gonna get some Poorboys Natty Blue and the Wolfgang sealant to start with to use with some other bits i have which ive been quite happy with finish those off then get Poorboys blue polish and the other two you have suggested Rob.


Thanks for the help again. Much appreciated.

Quite possibly yes, if the dealer just slapped it on and left it to dry, you know what dealerships are like!

 

[Scotty_b]

Thats true and as everyone says its only as good as the person that put it on. So i wonder if the super guard has swirls or if they cleaned the car then sealed in the swirls.

I think compound should get the super off

How often would yo use the two above combinations?

I'm gonna get PB Natty's Blue and some WG Sealant used with my megs Tech Wax which i will be finishing off.

Which order using those and how often?

 

[RobDon]

I wouldn't use NXT on top of a sealant as it will remove the sealant, use only a pure wax with no cleaners in it. The correct sequence is to clean/prep the paint, sealant then wax as your last step. You could do:

1) Klasse AIO
2) Wolfgang deep gloss sealant
3) Poorboy's Natty's blue or another layer of sealant

I prefer the look of layered sealants. I maintain the finish with Optimum Spray Wax and/or Pinnacle Crystal Mist.

 

[PhilW]

I was goin to use the NXT as the first step.


Where can i get AIO in the Uk?

Thanks again for the help tho.

Ow i didnt relise NXT took the sealant off, thats what ive been doing so its been a waste!

 

[RobDon]

NXT removes and hides fine scratches, so it will remove sealant too, it's more of a cleaner wax. Also using NXT as your first step under sealant is a no-no as the sealant won't bond to the paint. You need to use a glaze, cleanser or a polish under a sealant, something with no wax or oils in it.

I do not rate NXT as a decent wax anyway TBH.

 

[Scotty_b]

Whats your current state Rob, as in if you had to start from scratch what would you use?

 

[RobDon]

My last big detail I did Clearkote red moose glaze, 4-star UPP x2, Wolfgang DGS (all by PC) then Optimum Sprax Wax to maintain. My car has never stopped beading water since!

Very soon I'm going to try:

1) Grojet 2000 (same as Klasse AIO)
2) Einszett metallic polish
3) Einszett glanz wax
3) Einszett detail spray (polymer sealant spray)

Einszett is German and appears to be a real sleeper product, awesome products that don't cost much but work very well, many pro detailers rave about the Glanz Wax.

I have a sample of Menzerna FMJ coming (Full Molecular Jacket!) soon, supposed to be truly awesome stuff, if I like it then all I'll be doing is AIO then FMJ x2 ... that's it!
