here good results from the dodo stuff which il go for when i run out ov my other stuff

 

thanks i will keep that in mind i am new 2 the ford game my mate has a 40k on the clock 3 dr cossie i just want 2 mre bout them like the diffence between 3dr and rs500 ect and other info cheers sean2k

 

ive found that a couple of local polish lads are the best to use as they will get it gleaming like a mirror for a couple of shiny buttons or i refuse to pay them . no effort at all on my part.

 

You mean polish or wax/sealant?

 

wots the diffence in all 3 of them? wots best 4 dark and light colours and wot the best companys 2 use? i am just wiv it all cheers sean2k

 

What colour is it?
Basics is cut polish and wax (or sealant, both are LSP - last stage product, for protection and shine).
Keeping it simple you'd get something like t-cut or autoglym paint renovator for cutting, then a polish like autoglym super resin polish, then a wax or sealant, depending on colour and what finish you want.

 

thank u very much 4 that they r loads of differnt gear on the market it just gets 2 a bit hard 2 pick the right 1 4 the car i just want that wet look really its an orange car

 

Depends how deep you want to get into it...
Megs stage 1 and 2, or mentioned above, then say Victoria concours - Ł30 for a decent enough sized tub.
This lasts a long time and gives awesome results.
Is more cost effective than cheap waxes.
To help the polishing and application of wax, use a german pad.
Can find it all on cleanyourcar.co.uk and a few others.

Edit/ Before all that you want to use a clay bar on it, something like sonus green.

 

I'd suggest you give Poorboys Natty's Paste Wax (normal for light cars, blue for medium and dark cars) on top of Collonite a try

That's not "hardcore bufty" territory, but will give you much better results than the run-of-the-mill stuff

You could just use the Poorboys and see how you get on as it's a really good shine, but not very long-lasting. The Collonite, however, is very durable, but not such a nice shine. You can combine the 2

 

Agreed, i usually follow collinite with natty paste wax.

For polishing by hand i'd recommend Poorboys Polish with Sealant, it's very easy to apply and very easy to take off leaving no residue.....applying with a machine will remove light scratches and trails

 

Smells nice to.

cheers lads the bmw looks clean wots that u use on that mate by the sounds off it i can spend load of coin on cleaning gear 4 my car then cheers sean2k

 

That was after machine polishing to remove all the swirls and scratches.
You could happily spend Ł500+ on gear, always something you want/need.

Best way to assess yours is clean it, and at night take it down the petrol station under the halogens, is a fucker for showing the defects.

This is the sort of thing, although this was a bad one, needed wet sanding:



Afterwards you'll end up with paint like this:



I think before anything you need to see how bad the paint is, and decide how much time/money/effort you want to spend on it, and what finish you require, or will settle for.

Here's a couple before and after pics, even relatively new cars are often swirled and scratched to fuck, if you catch them in the right light:

That's PolishedBliss's work, and Zymol Vintage.
