I need some tips on cleaning my BM.  I have got a buffer and want to know what to use.  The car has some scratches & swirls, going to spend a good few hours cleaning.  I do like Meguiars gear.

Just make sure you come Sunday and you will get all the advice you want

 

If you cant make it then we can hook up over a cuppa one day and talk it over

 

I have all the gear,but at this time of year we will need a garage to do a good job

Cheers for today Pete, car look much better.  When winter is past we will get the PC on it.  Hopefully the taxi driver will see how good a job we have done and get a few homers and make some cash.

Alright Jim

On my car i am using Zymol Concours (Nice dark wet look)

On Coullio`s car we usd the new Blackfire Midnight sun (Gave a nice clean sharp reflective finish to the black paint)

 

On Silver Polished Bliss swear by that Jeffs Acrylic Jett Trigger

It gives a superb Reflective shine and lovely flake pop

They say Carnuba wax on Silver (Unless high end glaze like Zymol Vintage) is a waste of time
