The very best finish on red is achieved with:

Polish: ClearKote Vanilla Moose Glaze
Glaze: ClearKote Red Moose Machine Glaze
Sealant: Poorboy's EX
Finishing Wax: ClearKote Carnauba Moose Wax.

If you need help sourcing those, or on pricing, then just drop me a PM

Hi Steve,

If it's a non metallic I'd go with Clearkote Vanilla Moose Wax @ £12.99 and a few layers of Clearkote Carnauba Moose Wax @ £15.99. This will give a really deep, rich glowing finish.

If it's a metallic and you want to keep good clarity to let the flake pop, then I'd go with Prima Amigo Polymer Glaze @ £12.99, folled by Prima Epic Sealant @ £15.99.

You can add extra steps such as a sealant into the middle of the first option to increase durability (as Gaz has rightly mentioned), or you can add a wax onto the end of the second option to give a wetter appearance on top of the sealant... If your keeping the car tip top frequently though, I would save the money initially, and add products as you feel you need to at a later date.

The one thing that may be worth considering is a quick detail spray such as Clearkote Quik Shine @ £8.99. This is a great product for a quick once over if the car doesn't need a wash but you want to give it that little something extra. It adds a good shine of it's own but doesn't really add any extra protection..... Very handy for bird bombs as well!

All the above prices are pre discount of 10% by cheque or 6.5% by Paypal.... Drop me a mail if you need any help.

Cheers.
Alex

As Alex mentioned above, ClearKote Quik Shine is an excellent quick detailer - i believe it's currently the best available on the market

The car will be solid paint, so the original products mentioned (the ClearKote carnaubas) will give the best finish
