cazzac2222 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 ^^ same Amjad, i wouldnt mind learning too, also wondering about the same think SRP wi a Random DA polisher and also what mops would i use on the polisher?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Ragz - Harly is currently £15 a tub on special but normally sell it at £17. For getting the white off we used some berry blast tyre gel on half a scuttle panel on a guy's corolla at the manchester meet, the other half he used his AG vinyl and trim stuff. He then wanted to throw his AG across the car park as it didn't work but the AB berry stuff did, easy sell!Amjad - The cherry glaze is 9.95 for 500ml, but you barely use any, plus can use on all plastics.I use a rotary polisher rather than a DA but DAs are better for beginners due to less chance of damage (but take twice as long).You can use SRP on a polisher but again all it will do is fill the marks not actually correct them, depending on the condition of your paint, you would be be better with a very light abrasive. Then a decent fine polish and a wax.The pads you would use would depend on what you are trying to do, but usually a light cut pad, a polishing pad and a finishing pad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 i use the harly wax from ninja shine and fuck me it is quality stuff and really easy to usemy white paint never looked so sshiny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Glad you like dude, it is my favourite product to use and you barely use any!What do you think to the tub size? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 i expected the tub to be half the sizeits huge and will last me probably 8 months if not longer to do my whole car uses hardly anything i just need a proper application pad if you have aything like that?

Hou Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Will have some in stock very soon dude, more like the wax will last couple yearsSadly it is rubbish for us in the way of repeat sales, but give it a couple of coats 24hrs apart and should last prob about 3-4 months before needing to reapply Quote Link to post Share on other sites

drew 007 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 how safe is your products to use on fresh paint work?have you tested this yet or not had the opurtinity?Paint work has to harden off before any products can be use on it.... when i remember the exact time period il put it in this thread, but your paint needs to cure before you put ANY products on it/near it.
