      The Maguires sounds a good choice. Clive thanks very much for the post.. Do you use a buffer? Only reason I ask is I've always had a clean car bit never used a buffer as the cars I've had have always been light and got away with a was and chamois. I don't have the car as of yet and would like to know what's best one the new paint work. One of the worries was swirls on the black but just couldn't resist the colour.

          Yes, I train people in the use of both Dual Action Polishers and Rotary Polishers. If you look at some of the links above, you'll see pics of me using both types. Black is a swine for showing swirls, correct wash technique is the only way to minimise it. It's a whole subject talking about machine polishing, my favourite is the Zenith technique, but I won't start and I don't go there on the Back to Basics course, might be worth taking a look at the B2B course pics thread linked in the above post.

          Regards,
          Clive.

              Hi,

              Yes I have - I think it's sold through one of the TV shopping channels - I've never used it, but like I mention the trick is to make sure the tyre is properly keen before putting on the dressing.... so if GL looks good, give it a go.....

              Regards,
              Clive.

                I have used the greased lightning stuff and its really impressive. Amazon even sell it now, i used a sponge applicator with this stuff.

                http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B007...sr=8-8&pi=SL75

                The megs endurance is another good one using a sponge applicator. 3 for 2 at halfrauds at the moment.

                Still liking Angelwax Elixir though
