Adam you should be waxing (stage3) after you stage one really.

allan_d_1 · 20-10-2008, 12:35

Try the Zymol stuff, light blue bottle. that helps with swirl marks and also gives a great shine. Get it in halfords

c20|et · 20-10-2008, 20:57

yeah i use that Zymol stuff too, as allan says you can get it in halfords but its alot at 12.49 per bottle

Autoglym Ultra Deep Shine is fantastic on metallic black!!

Jasovanooo · 21-10-2008, 18:24

after trying the 3 stage on the nissus astra (met black) i wasnt at all impressed so i have since changed to using the meguiers stage 1 paint cleaner and then using the autoglym ultra deep shine far better finish better beading and lasts ages unlike the megs stage 3

seems to work well
also benn why skip stage 2? is this were im going wrong with the meg

**Benn** · 21-10-2008, 18:27

No, i didnt say skip stage two, but you should do more than just stage one, stage one is like the cleaner.. You then wanna protect it after.

Ok, try nxt over stage two, last longer and i find it a bit nicer at times.

trouble with pics is that different weather effects the shine. Clean your car with fairy liquid then megs all the way - unless your car is silver then dont bother polishing it.. made no difference when i had a cav, only looked good in the rain.

**Benn** · 22-10-2008, 21:23

Dont ever clean the car with fairy!

Faily is a degreaser it will strip the wax off it, you might thinkthats ok as you'll reapply the wax, but what about all the bits you can get to?
And it will make the car fade faster as you are stripping the oils fromthe paint.

results may not be the same as above due to paint conditoins may be diffrent,if working by hand tyr bilt hamber auto balm wax best results for swirls and
bringing out the flakes.

R222 canuba wax (or p21s as it was called) is top stuff.

Ive used autoglym and meguiars...but r222 beats the lot.
