Default What products

Come on then lads, my cars nearly ready to come out of the garage again and i'm bored so want to be able to bufty it on a weekend while the doris is at work. What products do you recommend? The car is moondust silver and the paintwork is mint, no scratches or swirl marks at all. Whats the best to get a great, long lasting shine?

I'm not really set to any budget either...

Jeffs Werkstatt Acrylic system.
Want to avoid wax, and avoid sealant with carnauba wax in it.
Jeffs is ideal for silver.

Unless of course the wax is Zymol Vintage, you did say no budget...

Because it's silver, simple as that.

I forgot to add that Tim from clean your car speaks very highly on the Victoria Concours on silvers aswell.

Or as C4llyT has meantioned the Jeffs sealant products work well on lighter coloured cars but you could use the Carlack NSC and LLS as its apperently the same stuff re-branded.

I've switched to Concours, great stuff.
Suitable for any colour then, have to remember that.
Maybe it's the difference in Carnauba content or something?

Depends what condition paint you're starting with.
Is a minefield!
For best shine you need clayed and corrected paint, and good quality wax or sealant, with a gloss enhancing polish beforehand.
Can spend all the money you want on LSP (last stage product) but wasting your money if surface it's applied to isn't 100% clean and of decent correction level.
