im planning a ncie big olish of my focus RS. ive been looking at things like meguirs polish and i like the sound of the clear stuff they do. however, it comes in a block form and liquid form. which is best?? and will i have to seal it or wax it after that?? or if i just buy some autoglym HD wax do i just use that and that only or do i have to use the super resin polish on it first??? i want noticeably good results.

 

Clay>polish>glaze>sealant>wax

You need a proper detailing kit.

Poorboys/Dodo works really well on FRS.

Also AG is pap...............they have lost there way over the last 10 years. Much better products available and DONT go to halfords.....

 

Whilst I agree that AG are bettered by a lot of other detailing manufacturers these day in some areas (and that's only because they cater for a much wider customer base than other brands, so have to factor in other things which can reduce the overall performance).

However, they do still have several great products in their range which are highly regarded amongst the detailing community, the main one being Super Resin Polish. For those unaware, you wouldn't think it's very highly thought of amongst the hardcore detailers, but you couldn't be more wrong. As an All In One product with light correctional ability and superb swirl masking properties, it's a staple product for many detailers.

The trouble is, too many people bin it off for being too dusty, but it's all down to how it's used. I still use it to this day and with my method, there's no dust whatsoever, and I also use it by machine sometimes - again with no dust. In fact I machined a whole box van the other week and not only was there no dust, the pad didn't even clog up.

Anyway, back to the OP's question. saphcosmike is quite correct with his product order info, but you don't necessarily need to do all stages to get a great result, just make sure you stick to that order though even if you skip a stage.

On your car I'd go with 2 layers of SRP (super resin polish) - a first one with moderate to heavy pressure to slightly correct any light swirling and marring, a second much lighter application to fill and mask any swirls that are left (and there will be, as SRP is only very slightly abrasive and it's correction is only very mild).

This will give a great acrylic layer for other products to bond to (this is one of SRP's great assets as it works so well with almost anything).

You can go for the HD wax if you want, but cheaper and better alternatives imo. would be:-

Collinite 476s or 915 (both hard paste waxes)
Collinite 845 (liquid/cream version)
Any of the Dodo range really (just pick one that suits your colour)
Poorboys Nattys (any of the 3 - white, blue or red - I'm getting to the end of my 'Red' Natty's and I've loved it - superb wax).
Chemical Guys XXX
Chemical Guys 5050

Any of those will match the HD on looks and the 3 Collinite ones will easily beat it on durability.

Hope that's helped

 

Or if ya dont want to blow mega money on stuff mix ag super resin with ag extra gloss protection about 50/50 mix and seal it wiv mequires tech wax 2 will give you a good finish aswell

 

I used to think AG Super Resin Polish was poo. Until i found out how to use it properly.

As Viper says, the reason everyone moans about it is because they can't use it. Your meant to apply with a damp applicator.

 

can you mix srp and egp in a bottle, and just use it when required? or do you need to use it straight away?

 

I mix mine and use it anytime and works fine its just a lazy way to do it in one go lol must be 50/50 mix or tends to turn watery if not

 

ive just bought the poorboys polish and wax kit with some nice quality applicator pads. to be honest, i dont have the time or the patience to go through 5 stages of polishing. ive heard a lot of good stuff about poorboys so i think ill give it a try. the car aint been polished for ages and ages so im hoping it will give a good result. plus a waxed car looks like pure sex when it gets wet in the rain!!! lol

 

Gone right off AG, I have 5 litre tin of it in the loft cost me Ł50 it will stay there.

 

unless someone local wants to buy it?

 

am using rest of mine and am gonna try this poor boys stuff

 

I use poorboys and Dodo by hand, it's the ultimate.
