Then a coat of Poorboys 'Black Hole' glaze and then a few layers of the Natty's 'Red' wax.

This car is permanantly garaged and so had hardly any swirls to start with hence only requiring a finishing polish all over and a medium cut (the SSR2) just in a few localised areas.

The Puma which lives outside 24/7 was machined with the SSR2 all over but I've yet to give it a spring 'freshen up' with a finishing polish. I might use a sample of Menzerna's new 203S that a member on Detailing World kindly sent me today, as it's got enough cut to remedy a few light swirls and scratches that I've picked up over the winter, yet still refines down well enough to not require following with a seperate finishing polish.

No glaze this time, just Poorboys 'polish with carnauba' (blue version) and then topped with the Natty's Red again.


Yes, FIESTA CHRIS H, that's the stuff. Although the standard white or blue versions are equally as good imo. it's just that I prefer the red one as you can get this in a wider jar that allows you to keep your foam applicator pad inside.
