What would people recommend for polishing and taking care of the paintwork. Also something to stop raindrop reduise forming on my car?


Alos, and products I should advoid?

[Zarkov]

What's rediuse?

Also, Alos?

How do we avoid them?

[Baldesto]

use mothers/macguires .

[frankytanky]

Yeah I have found mothers to be good over the years, also the interior spray has a wonderful almondy fragrance  mmmmmm

[BerG]

I use macguires. Personally keep finding that quality carnubra wax gives the best and longest lasting protection, despite all these synthetics coming out.

If this is your first time, would recommend getting a clay kit and going over the car with that first. Then paint cleaner, polish, wax.

Then maintain the wax with meguires quik detailer. This will keep the fresh waxed look/ feel and shed the water off the paint like a duck. Also get a product for the windscreen like rain clear which sheds water off the windscreen. You look like the man when you're driving through heavy rain and don't need to use the wipers.

And for christ sake get a chamois. Dry the car after cleaning it.

[Zarkov]

I don't think SM has time for quite that level of car care.

[BerG]

The above is a once yearly process. Then just wax monthly and quik detail weekly (takes 2 mins).

If he doesn't have time for that, he needs to divorce his wife and quit his job.

Also, Alos?

It's spanish for also. Maybe.

I've been using a cat, but chamois would work much better, and my arms wouldn't get clawed as much.

Yes I do, I spent lots of money on my car so I want to take good care of it. Plus I like shiny things.

[Zarkov]

I bet you spend more money on your wife.

Does she ever get a good waxing?

Obviously clean it before any of this happens. Also, depending on the colour, you might want to degrease it, use a bit of turps to get the tar off.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

Car like black like Berg's car.

[Black Heart]

Brake fluid will take that nasty coating right off.

[BerG]

Do not listen to Black Heart.

SM- if you are black go for macguires black detailer rather than quik detailer.

Thanks

I am pretty black. It's useful when i'm fighting crime lords.


A applied the rainx stuff.

Now I want it to rain, but it doesn't look like it will at all this week.

[BerG]

What about the rest of the car?

You will still look like a loser if you're windscreen is shedding water but the rest of the car is not.

People will probably laugh at you as you're driving along.

[toofast]

Out of interest do you lot buy online, or just head down to supercheap/repco. I find my local supercheap has a rather lacking selection.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

It rained today. That rainx stuff is boss.

Where abouts are you?

[Zarkov]

The end of the World is and a shiny car are incompatible imo.

How else did you think I had Swedish womens beach vollyball teams chasing me all the time?

[Black Heart]

Don't listen to berg, it  was the ukranian team chasing him. They caught him too, he will never be the same again. The things they did with brake fluid.

[BerG]

Ok I lie.

It was the Belarus women's shot put team.

[Black Heart]

You have my sympathies. I hope the ACC sensitive claims unit aren't faxing your notes across the country as we type.
