how to get you car to shine like never before ?, buy a pc

[Scotty_b]

I take it your going to touch the scratches in first?
I have been using Scratch X on my stone chips i have touched up and there really starting to come out well, as there starting to smooth off

yer, just debating whether to get a pen from the dealer or an aftermarket product

 

[Scotty_b]

I got both, the pen kit from hell-frauds is an ace bit of kit as it has a fin tip to put it on with and also comes with a filler. The seat ones have the big old paint brush so its either get a tooth pic or prepare for a lot a prep to mask the area!

I thought I'd try topping UPP with a few different things - so on 3 separate panels I did CMW, Souveran liquid and lastly WG deep gloss sealant. CMW looks pretty good, nice wet finish, Pinnacle seemed so-so, but then on the last panel the WG sealant - WOW! I am liking this alot, goes on/off very easy and seems to have added wetness and clarity to the finish, I'm going to do the whole car with it!!!

Here's the rear panel with WG deep gloss sealant:

Insane reflections and clarity, I love it! RMG/UPP/WGDGS seems to be a truly awesome combo for my car colour.

RMG - clearkote red moose machine glaze
UPP - 4-star ultimate paint protection
WGDGS - wolfgang deep gloss sealant

Dam rob your going to be down to bare metal soon!

I was thinking of trying the auto glym deep shine, great results by hand, just owndered ifthe PC can better it

 

[RobDon]

That's the beauty of it - it is layering on top, not going down. If I want to start again I can just use some Megs cleaner polish and take it all off!

 

[Scotty_b]

Very good point, should just get better and better as it gets smoother

 

[Scotty_b]

Right im wanting to get the best shine for my santa pod weekend this weekend. I have tommorow off to replace the radio and polish the car. whats your suggestion to get the best shine in half a day of work with what i have so far??

what polish and what pads (jut to make sure im doing it right)

 

[RobDon]

Remind us of what you have to choose from again!?!

I really like the 303 Aerospace Protectant, I used it on all my interior plastics, vinyl, rubber, etc. and it all looks like new! Gives a nice dry satin sheen - not glossy, sticky, greasy, etc.

Dirty marks wipe off alot easier now too - a Godsend when you have kids!

 

[Scotty_b]

The megs stuff is a bit streaky and can be stick too so i may try that 303 stuff.

I have the
Megs swirl remover #83
nxt wax
Megs macine glaze #80
Megs mirror glaze

Clay bar, 3 step megs and loads of other bits!
and anything i can lay my hands on tommorow at hellfrauds!

Not looking for a lasting shine just a very good one which will prob be stripped nxt week so i can get some of the new stuff on

 

[RobDon]

I wouldn't be using ANY Meguiars stuff for the best shine!

But, if that's what you've got then a going over with #80 then 2 coats of NXT should look nice. If you have any carnuba paste wax or sealant I'd use that too.

Clearkote vanilla moose then carnuba moose or Poorboy's EX sealant with carnuba then Natty's wax would give a significantly better look though.

 

[Scotty_b]

I ordered loads of 303 stuff and wolfberg(??) stuff last nite so should be with me friday!
I have carnuba wax and mirror glaze, would that help?

What pads am i best of using a sthey all seem tobe the same except for colour! (Got the full set)

 

[RobDon]

The Wolfgang stuff is awesome - I'd lay down some machine/mirror glaze to smooth the paint then 2 coats of the deep gloss sealant if that's what you're getting - or if time is short one coat. 2 coats of wax or sealant always seem to produce better results though.

 

[Scotty_b]

Right lets get too it!
Pictures to follow 2nite!

 

[RobDon]

The thing that might work on your car being yellow is that WG DGS is very reflective and adds to the clarity, so could help alot, carnuba waxes tend to warm the colour up but synthetic sealants give hard reflections.

...I really like the 303 Aerospace Protectant, I used it on all my interior plastics, vinyl, rubber, etc. ...

Rob, which dealer distribute this 303 stuff? Serious Performance as well? And one more question: I have now the PC at home - finally ;-). I saw that you ordered after a couple of days further pads. Are the pads washed out quickly? And: is the standart-package oft the "Sonüs DAS Polisher Kit" enough for my beginning?

 

[RobDon]

I got my 303 from Motorgeek: http://www.motorgeek.co.uk/

I never ordered extra pads after a few days? On a subsequent order I got another couple, along with some spot pads too - but there is enough in the kit yes.

I use the Sonus Der Wunder Wasche for cleaning MF towels and the pads, Motorgeek also have the Pinnacle Microfibre Rejuvinator for £8.25, same kind of thing as the Sonus.

How heavy is the pc with the DAS kit ?
I have a friend that's going there and maybe I can ask him to bring it with him.
Hope the package is not too big as well.

 

[182blue]

the package is fairly big but not too heavy

 

[LNeves]

From the pics Rob took, I guess it's about the same size as a hand luggage and round 11 pounds weight ?
What do you reckon ?
