Polish for Classics

There is a quick way. It's called a buffer. You're still stuffed if the imperfections are deep though. There are a hell of a lot of glazes and similar products available which fill imperfections for a short time, which I expect are used heavily on show cars and cars photographed for magazines, adverts and so on.

That isn't always quick either, and if you do attempt doing it quickly you risk needing a re-spray when you burn through!...

Do you always act like a tit?

Wonder where Speed 'n' Ease fits that equation? ;-)

Some will have got the joke...

I did. Subtle and understated. Just my sort of humour.

The message from "Dave Plowman (News)" contains these words:

Only if they also read uk.d-i-y. :-)

Dunno why everyone started picking on my posts. ;-)

My car has an original dark blue/green lacquered metallic finish. The previous owner had left it untouched in their driveway for about 6-7 years. When I got it I didn't even realise it was blue/green, it just looked a dull blue. The previous owner tried to clean it (looked like with a dry sponge on dust!) and put in a lot of swirl marks (ouch!).

I used SafeCut (hard work) and then Autoglym Super Resin (red label) (really easy). The original owner couldn't believe it and everyone comments how great it looks now.

I've never actually bought any polish (I borrowed the safe cut and someone gave me an autoglym gift pack), so I can't compare with much, but I am very happy with the autoglym, it gets rid of the swirl marks and I only need to reapply about every 4+ months (it is garaged though). In other words I am happy with Autoglym and I've never felt the need to look for something else.

I can recommend their shampoo too - great for taking off bird sh*t and makes the water bead on the windows.

How well do the wiper blades work in a down-pour though?...

Fine, actually. I probably comes off in a couple of wipes anyway. I learnt a while ago that its more important to clean the wiper blades every time you wash the car (preferably with glass cleaner).

Or this one, maybe?

That's not my house you see reflected in the paint, BTW. It's my parent's.

Joke? Hardly classic Bernard Manning was it?

Jokes are only funny if you 'get it'. Which you plainly haven't.

Nice. My Dad uses it on his TR3A too. Does anybody know the difference between 'Ultra deep shine' and 'Super Resin' ?
