andyb Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Hiya guys i own a black 325msport coupe, i love keeping it clean but i have never gone as far as waxing etc. I am wanting to know what waxes you guys use to give a really deep glossy shine to the paint work also your opinions as to how it is best to apply. I currently use megs gold class to wash the car which i think gives great results i am just wanting to get abit more involved in the detaling process all comments much appreciated cheers PICS ALSO WOULD BE GREAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrimja Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I use collinite 476 on my orient blue(dark blue) and it comes up a treat. Really deep look after application and a couple of coats are meant to last 6 months! Check out detailing world for reviews of LOTS of products and cleanyourcar.com do a package with everything you need for application and removal which is great value IMO.

Duracell Bunny Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I use Autoglym HD Wax on mine. Best stuff IMO. X2 on that, I think that wax is amazing. Just remember before waxing or polishing use a clay bar for even better results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duracell Bunny Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Wash claybar wash polish wax then admire your hardwork I think you always wax after you've polished, if I'm wrong someone correct me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Bunny Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Sorry scrimja I must of pressed enter just after u posted glad ares are the same lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrimja Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Lol no worries. Good point to rewash after claying. You should always wax after polishing as the polish strips all paint protection. On an extra note - you don't need to clay everytime you fancy polishing and waxing. Every 6-12 months would be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Bunny Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I did not know polish strips the protection you learn sumthing new everyday. Never gunna polish without waxing again only ever done that once though cause it was about to rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimzimmer46 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 AG HD wax is a must for a deep shine . Use AG SRP or AG Ultra deep shine before waxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never gunna polish without waxing again only ever done that once though cause it was about to rain Yup takes all the wax and sealents an anything else you may have had on there. In the winter/spring it always rains and in the summer the sun is too hot to get the product on and off without it drying out too much. I need a garage lol.
