for hand use i would use the autoglmy range if its on the car in your sig? super resin with a coat of egp after or if your using wax p21s.

blackhole(eventho its intended for darker cars) would work well on that coulour and give the paint more wetness.

Mequires is less hassle,not as dusty when buffing off. Autoglym is still a good product if used properly. Think Mequires also has bigger product range

Assuming it's for the silver BMW in your siggie, then our thoughts about what to use and why by hand are summarised neatly in this thread, along with example pictures...

https://passionford.com/forum/concou...ent-fords.html

Werkstat Acrylic all the way - simply the best protective system for light coloured finishes we have ever used. Also dead easy to use too.

I have had the Werkstat for a while now and recently got chance to try it out on my mothers white audi.
This is an awesome kit, i was trully blown away with the results, my mother even commented that she thought the car looked brand new again and that the white was now blinding in the sun.

A product i will definatly recommend.

The kit comes in at £48.69 + P&P, and we have them in stock ready to go. If you'd like to see the products and read the full description and usage info please see this link...

http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acata...-kit-kits.html

To order, give us a call on 0845 4540017 or buy online using the above link. The good thing with Werkstat is you don't have to avoid stone chips, as the products will not fill them with a load of mess - just work over the top of them and they will then be sealed in, preventing corrosion (of course, you can always touch them in first if you like).
