what next?

Post by Lovedoctor » Fri Jul 20, 2012 3:12 pm

So I have given my car a bit of a going over this morning. So far she has been treated to a 'Chemical Guys' shampoo wash, Clay barred and then re-washed/chamoised. So whats next? In my shed I've found Auto glym paint renovator and super resin polish or do I go straight to Chemical Guys Petes 53 wax? What will give the best result?

I'd use the Super Resin Polish if you have any micro-scratches (halo effect) in the paintwork.
Then wax to protect! ;)

Last time I gave the car a spruce instead of Super Resin Polish I used some Ultra stuff (http://www.autoglym.com/enGB/product-pr ... p?v06VQ=HF). Was harder work than the SRP but a few weeks later and it's still looking baders 8-) recommend it defo, nowhere near as dusty as SRP as well.

Looks great from a good few metres away. Pity the usual sratches etc show up close. Soooo want to keep the front plate off :twisted:

Next to get the treatment will be the interior :P
