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.

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
