Hi,

I'm trying to get my car as showroom shiney as possible. Its a near perfect 1990 Mk2 Astra CDi. I thought I'd ask here as you lot seem to give really good advice unlike some other forums

I've tried Megs 3 stage system which is OK and have just purchased some Tech wax and quick clay.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get it looking great. I'd like a deep wet shine but understand white isnt the best colour to start with.

Any help is great..

I'm open to trying other products but would like to utilise the Megs I've already purchased if possible.

Many thanks,
Neil.

 

Best to stay away from full on glazes and heavy carnuabas on white - it doesn't give the right look.

You're better off claying with the Meg's clay you have, then:

Polish with ClearKote Vanilla Moose Glaze
Seal with Poorboy's EX-P
Wax with Optimum Car Wax.

This will give you a great finish on white

Thanks for the info Gaz. Any pointers on places to buy all of the above?

Cheers,
Neil.

 

A good combo mentioned by Gaz.

A couple of others we've been using lately with nice results....

Clearkote Red Moose Glaze and Meguiars #16 Wax - clear glossy shine. #16 is very clear finishing for a carnauba wax. Also long lasting on it's own, so not really necessary to put a sealant under it for greater durability...... Nothing to stop you of course!

Prima Amigo Polymer glaze and Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection - Very bright and reflective.

Prima Amigo Polymer Glaze and Prima Epic Sealant - Still reflective but slightly more glossy than the Four Star UPP.

Sorry to confuse with more choices!

 

Thanks for that SP

Slightly confused but I'll get there in the end lol.

 

No worries.... Theres never that much in it but, you do notice dofferences in finishes from different products, and people always want to know the differences, it just saves people looking at hundreds of products not knowing what they do or what they look like once applied.

Cheers.

 

Agreed - there are differences, so it's good for people that try lots of products to pass the knowledge gained on to those that don't - to save people the time and hassle. I've tried pretty much everything i can lay my hands on, and this is some of the best stuff
