    Busted ops:

    ps. I'm keeping up the polishing and waxing don't worry ;)
    This got me thinking, what cleaning products and Waxes would you recommend?

    I could be here for hours.

    It depends how far you want to go with this.

    First and foremost, you should ensure that your cleaning methods are correct.

    Ie. Using two buckets - one with car shampoo and one with clean water and a lambswool washmitt.

    This will ensure swirls are not inflicted on the paint.

    Then. you should ideally clay the car with a mild clay - meguiars is perfect for this.

    Then its Polish, Glaze, Seal and Wax.

    Products wise, Clearkote, Meguiars, Poorboys, Blackfire and Menzerna are popular choices for polish.

    For Wax, I would go for Collinite stuff or Nattys Blue Wax.

    Go to www.detailingworld.co.uk

    and you will see things differently!

        Same as me pretty much, a selection of Meguiars shampoo, clay and polish's and some harly wax, which ive found great on my last car, havnt given my new one the full treatment yet! Maybe this weekend if the weathers friendly 8-)

        Has anyone here used a PC polisher? Ive heard good things about these but never used one myself.

              Maybe you should stay in more! Nothing worse like driving around in a dirty MC or a tired exterior!
