As above, need to buy some new cleaning products so what do you reccomend? Ideally it needs machine polishing as quite a few swirl marks on it, but im not letting myself loose on it with one of them will end up needing a repaint!

Cheers

 

black hole poorboys,

 

you say you dont want to go down the machine polish route but they are tottally safe and this kit has everything you need.

if not, poorboys black hole is more of a glaze. so i would start with a Poorboys SSR from the above site followed by Poorboys glaze then your normal wax

 

Cheers ill give the black hole stuff a go first and see what the results are

I would rather use Poorboys creme Z i find it alot easier to work with, its very similar to BH with equaling results ime. You could learn machine polishing action by machining your chosen glaze into the paint. Correct pad for glazing and lowest speed either DA or rotary would be ok , i,d say the DA would be better for this but it wont matter too much.
Lime prime would also be a good product to use it has a light cut to it ready for waxing afterwards .

edit- not to say blackhole isnt good , i love it but i find creme z easier for me.

 

I use the poor boys stuff, and a DA, the DA is a great buy, very safe, you wont mess up.

I use the Blackhole and nattys past wax as they tend to be really good at not showing every little chip, they are also by far the easiest to apply and take off I have used. I used the SRR which was good, then used the blackhole glaze, then wax.

If you enjoy cleaning your car, then get a DA, ideally a rotary, more caution required but I already feel I should have gone straight for one and just used caution. The DA just makes it so much easier than doing it by hand, and with much better results.

Just make sure the paint is spotless before you start, clay bar etc as you dont want to drag crap round the paint at speed, and clay bar is so easy to use and brings amazing results imo.

 

Yes matt i love BH with poorboys nattys blue its an excellent combination and as you say very well priced . These products do go a long way too!
Glad i started with a DA tbh but yes a rotary is definately king when it comes to time/correction imo. A DA will do the job but take longer generaly by its nature.
The DA has many uses.
