  • More than just a polish.................

    A mate of mine brought this across to me in Belgium, it's a polish with some very slight abrasives. Here's a little I did, will be doing the whole car next week

    That looks great, is that by hand or machine?

        Looks good soulcharger. Remember and put some wax or sealant on it unfortunately it'll fade again as happens with all single stage paint when it's started to go. If you get a wax or sealant it'll protect it for longer. Also remember with your abrasive polish each time you're removing paint so be careful you don't go through it.

        If you buy a cheap dual action car polisher as well you'll get the job done on a quarter of the time.

        As I said great turnaround and its looking great.

          Yes I was warned about effects of cutting, will be keeping a close eye on it. Do have some red polish I'll be using that the next couple of weeks.

            I know I'm only being anal but I do enjoy polishing and waxing my cars and keeping them looking good.

            Polish won't protect it you really need a wax or sealant have a google search it'll come up with loads of results about the differences between wax and polish. There's loads of companies do good waxes at decent prices Bilt Hamber are pretty decent both in quality and price. Don't make the mistake of paying a fortune go for one that lasts longest if you get one.

            My old Audi the paint on the roof was gone and it kept fading. using a wax at least prolonged it from fading but using a polish alone brought it up well but never lasted.

                Bilt Hamber do three waxes I've actually got the other two not tried that one. They all get good reviews though and I'd think any of them would be good. I've got a larger tub of this

                https://www.bilthamber.com/waxes-pol...bars/finis-wax

                which if you want I could transfer some into a smaller tub and send to you to try if you want. I should be able to transfer enough to give your car one coat. I sometimes apply with my fingers so you wouldn't need an applicator just a cloth to buff it off.

                I see you're Belgium so I'd just post it cheapest option as I'm not looking for any money for it.

                You can PM me your details if you want.

                    No worries offer is there so that you could try before you buy I'd post wherever you wanted. Wax for cars is a minefield there's literally hundreds out there which is why I try to use a brand I've used other products with and rate and i've never been disappointed with bilt Hamber yet.

                      Many thanks, read the reviews of Bilt Hamber, they look good, for just a bit more than a tenner well worth a go.
