Need help making it shine

I don't know if this is of interest to you but I bought the showroom shine from a certain shopping channel.No water needed just 2 microfibre cloths and you can do any part of the car.works for me.My car is silver

Does it come up really well using that stuff?

Why not machine polish myself out of curiosity

Because machine polishing is best suited to clearcoated painted metal, not human skin.

Friction burns, too.

see my reply to the duplicate to this thread :eyesup:

Lol
I just realised what I wrote, it was late and I was on nights at work is my excuse.

Are you aiming for just shine or swirl removal as well?

What colour as well?

Grey tit x155

just hoping for a good finish so prob have fill the swirls

what's a good machine polisher, seen a hilka on eBay seems cheap enough

I use a Makita 9227CB. I've got a Silverline though, which is a budget version.

I would clay the car and then use something like blackhole, which cleans and fills swirls in. Then top with a decent wax.

If you think you have the patience to machine polisher then go for a DAS-6 or Silverline as Magic919 said.

Got my autoglym resin and wax, got a detailer spray too as halfrauds are 3 for 2 on cleaning products.

Any tips before i try it out this weekend?

OK fella, good choice with the Autoglym Super Resin Polish. It is a much under-rated product, whether by hand or machine. The reason why a lot of people give up with SRP, is that they find it produces a lot of dust. I used to find it myself, but the dust only happens if you use too much product. The key with it is less is more. Also, work the product until it looks like it has gone clear. When you have more time, for even better results, do multiple passes with the SRP.

There is a sealant by Autoglym, called Extra Gloss Protection, which help seals in the shine from SRP, and makes it more durable. This product is best applied sparingly, and left on for at least an hour before buffing off.

Which wax did you get?

Hope the above helps

All the Best

Hi just reading the posts srp is a great polish , but rather than using exra gloss protection , use their new polish High Definition Wax . It is exspencive but gives briliant results . I emailed Auto Glym on its use the reply , use super resin polish to clean the paint work then use High Definition Wax , its a solid wax not liquid similar to e g p in aplying and removing it also is just a polish , will not act as a cleaner . Pour water over your cars bonnet after , i ve never seen a polish repell water like this before.

Maguiers wax and some maguiers detailed to clean off any mess

gonna try hand wax first then maybe get a cheap electric polisher later on

The showroom shine is good after initial use it takes me 15 minutes to do the whole car less if my daughter helps

I'm still waiting to try the UltraSeal PTFE polish I bought, damn rain! I've read lots of good things, I'll let you know how I get on. Less than a tenner too, better VFM than the £300 the dealer wanted to charge for the same thing...

I've just bought 10 AG SRP bottles for 1.74 reduced from 6.99 at Sainsburys petrol stations... Great saving.
