Shiny Cars how do you do it?!!!

[IBIZA_W1LL]

hey,
I've noticed that everybody on here has very nice clean and shiny cars... I have tried and tried and clean my car quite a lot but ....

Does everybody use electric polishing machines?

I have lots of small scratches all over my car and seem to be collecting them I notice more and more every time I look at my car.. is it possible to get these out polishing by hand ?

I want a Shiny car just looking for some advice!!

Thanks
Will

Yeah mate buffers are the best thing to use

 

[IBIZA_W1LL]

there soo expensive though :/

Depends what your definition of a buffer is.

Check out www.detailingworld.co.uk all the advice in the world on there.

Your car could be badly swirled or oxidised as this can mask the shine and reflection.

If your car is lacking shine - I would start with a good wash & clay followed then by AG srp (contains mild fillers which will fall into and fill the fine scratches - it wont obviously remove any of the deeper ones. you'll will require a full machine polish to correct this), after two coats of srp use a good quality wax to seal in all the work you've just done. This time of year I would highly recommend Collonite 476 two coats of this and your car should certainly be shining. All this can be done by hand but will take some serious elbow grease.

Alternativly get a machine polisher - Ive only got a Megs G220 DA but ive never looked back.

www.detailingworld.co.uk - This site will explain everything you need to know about car car.

Hope this helps you

Liam.

I couldn't think of anything worse than using that. But it's personal preference I suppose.

But I am a part time detailer so I an just being a fussy bugger.
