Hi just looking for some helpful tips really as I have a show next weekend and want the car looking its best. I have just bought the menza stuff to try and reduce my swirl’s and scratches so any tips would be great as I will only be using a hose to soak the car down first (unless its worth driving to a jet washer to get it hosed down?)

The plan of action is:
• Whip the wheels off and do all the arch liners and insides of the wheels suing megs wheel cleaner and APC
• Chuck some water over the car (or take to the jet wash)
• Use either megs nxt shampoo, pinnicles body shampoo or auto glym shampoo in two buckets to wash her.
• Clay bar using DP clay bar
• Use menza swirl remover then the menza polish (sorry cant remember exact names). Uisng orange sonas cutting pads on speed 3 for two passes and then speed 6 for two passes (all done using QD to stop the polish drying)
• Then one of the selanst I have, either pinnilce, wolfgang or megs
• The pinnicle carnube wax (is it worth doing megs mirror glaz before this as I think there the same thing??)

Any advice or tips would be great, treat me like an idiot and state any “make sure you” or “I wouldn’t do that” or “use speed 4” etc

Cheer
