TrisK Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Mers sratch remover, its basically an agressive polish, but brought my back bumper on my white V up a treat as it was starting to stain gray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Green Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I use to live by Autoglym relgiously, but I'm using AutoBrite direct stuff at the momement. Cherry Glaze is awesome, would highly recommend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Would pay to give the car a mop in a light cutting compound then fo over that in a very fine polishing compound then wax it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DavidAshton Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I would save yourself some time and hard work and get someone with a machine polisher to go over for you. This was the first time I ran a DA over my bonnet this was only a light pad with medium compound polish, you can see the section I hadn't done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thats amazing, i do have a cheap halfords machine polisher, Where did you get the blue tape aswell? Cheers ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I think a cheap Halfords style polisher will struggle to cut if at all so you may find it doesn't make any difference. It really depends how much you want to spend, how much effort you want to put in and the finish you want I guess. I think I got the blue tape off i4detailing.co.uk when I ordered some other bits but you can pick it up in any DIY shop like B&Q. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danb Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Removing all the crap off the paintwork will help alot - ie decon with iron x/purple rain, and then a good claying will improve it alot, you can now polish the paintwork back. The halfords polishers arent the best - you dont get any cutting pads with them - its just like using a microfibre cloth real fast and relying on whichever product you are using to the work. Ideally a dual action polisher (DAS6) and some decent polishing pads will work wonders (as shown above). All depends on how much you want to spend how keen you are on doing it yourself, dor a DA, pads and polishes your looking around £130-140 - a little bit more than you would pay for a good mop, but least you have the gear then for the future. Blue maskign tape can be bought off ebay, use the 3m stuff though, i got some cheap ones off ebay and they arent as sticky and lift very easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Machine polisher is the only real way of getting rid of all the stains properly. Can use an aggressive polish but it'll only mask it for a few days. White cars are a nightmare! Worst thing about mine is keeping it white. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
