Best Polish

[AdulteratedJedi]

Whats the best Exterior polish for doing your car, been using Noonster's Top Gear stuff that someone got him for christmas. But heard Auto Glym is the best on the market, shine lasts longer, has a harder wear, and what have you.

mer is good but find auto glym better

autoglym causes problems when coming to get ur car painted.

Few ppl i know used autoglym for yearson their cars and when it comes to painting say a wing.. the paint constantly reacts.

Supposedly due to autoglym stuff having a high silicone content.


Personally on the corsa i used Mer for polishing then used Simoniz wax on it for all the time i owned it.

Mg , i bought sum of that Turtle wax colour magic **** and must say it does put a hefty shine on the car.

[corsakid84]

i use turtlewax shampoo and MER Wax. works ok i surpose but i find it hard to get any kinda good finish on my car as its Solid Black. looks horrid close up.

[AdulteratedJedi]

Cheers guys :)

Been looking at that Meguiars on the speeding.co.uk site. It sound quite good.

Hey, daz, at least you don't have to wax your own now, it seems you have a volunteer!

Double as in £15-16 or £30-32 ? Remeber I already buy two bottles at a time! :?

[GoldPenguin]

meguiars is expensive stuff, but i love it. i won't use any other polish.

[ka$h]

Where from. How much GP? I like good stuff, and reckon with things like that if you pay a bit extra, you get a bit extra!

[AdulteratedJedi]

apparently autoglym has sum mad chemical ****e and a high silicone content which..if u use it over time will soak right into the metal or whatever part u arepolishing. Whn u come to get this part repainted etc then the paint will not take to it..

U will get the paint lal bubbling up.

I had this with Autoglym bumper gel. NO matter how much we cleaned the arches with chemicals and thinners, the paint just would not take to the arches.

Result having to buy new ones.

[corsav]

yeh i jus bort some gna use it on the weekend, but as long as i dont touch the bumpers or plastic parts i shudnt have a problem rite? coz i intend to spray all the plastic parts but not the original paint work so ill b ok rite?

shud be.

jsut dont use any bumper gel or anythin on the plasitcs as that will make then a lot hardder to painnt.

[corsaboy]

Yeah i was amazed the first time i used autoglym.

Didnt know anythin about spraypainting problems? im gettin new skirts and a rear skirt blended in soon, should i stop using it till the works done scott?

i didnt use back to black b4 i got the black bits colour coded, as i heard of a similar problem.

surely any good bodyshop should giv ur car a high pressure blast before spraying?

doenst matetr how much they clean the parts..the stuff soaks into the plastic and its basically ****ed.

we tried loads of diff stuff on my arches and ended upbinning them and gettin new ones.

hmm, i dnt think im gonna colour code anyway, im just enquiring bout the metals..its weird tho
