All White

[hodge]

Hello there,

I have two questions that I hope some could answer for me. I own a White 200 and am wondering if there is such a thing as a polish that doesn't dry White as I am struggling to tell where I have applied the stuff!!

Secondly I have just bought a clay bar kit, is there a process to follow when using this stuff i.e do I have to polish, wax or neither after I have clayed the car?

Cheers for any help

Wash car
De tar car (that's if you want too?)
Clay car
Wash car
Polish car
Wax car

That's what I do to mine, think thats what everyone else does?

you'll only scratch yr car further with a clay bar mate,in effect yr dragging grit accross yr paint surface,spray on decon gel works best then jett wash off,no contact required

I used to use autoglym and it's cack in comparison to what I've got now, auto finesse tripple polish, purple colour but goes on the paint white, and collinite 845, excellent combo, dont know any polish and wax that goes on different colour, russ might know?

Where a bouts in Redcar are u? I live in Marske haven't seen you about

 

[henderson]

live on the ings mate,behind the wacky,dont do that many miles to be fair thats probably why,you've prob got more chance of hearing it than seeing it to be honest as its a touch loud!

Raceglaze 55 is quite a strong red colour.

Auto Finesse Tripple is purple in colour - this is a pre wax cleanser, which does a great job of cleaning your paintwork up and preping it for a wax.

Wax wise, I'd recommend Victoria Wax Concours, which is red and can easily be seen on a white car, plus it looks great too

I strongly disagree. Claying would only scratch a car if it's not done properly.

Beginners should use a fine or medium clay, rather than an aggressive one.

Aggressive clay also shouldn't be used on soft paint.
