Gah! What are you talking about, man? Polish? That's not mechanics? No ... it's not ...



How do you polish yours? I have a white and a black Classic 900. I know what I use to get the very best out of the paint, but what do you guys use?


Polish with 3M 6060 then 3M 6064. Finish with McGuires and machince rotary with terry cloth. Like new!!

I have been very happy with Autoglym Super Resin polish by hand on my white car, which was re-sprayed three or four years ago. I also like to use Chemical Guys EZ Creme Glaze which really brings the shine out and top that with Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 sealant. Most recently, I have been using Armor All Hi-Shine Soft Paste Wax as a very last coat and boy does this enhance the shine 8) See:

Our black car has been tested with all sorts of stuff - I have settled on Meguiars #83 and #80 as a combination for maintaining the paint finish. Then, #26 liquid wax and #21 for autumn and winter. I like to use a paste wax too, so #16 gets dropped on top sometimes; that, or Collinite 476S. I do all my maintenance by hand. I tried out a Meguiars G220 DA and didn't really get on with it - I needed a lot more practice and would like to own one some day to bring swirled/ scratched cars up to spec quickly.

Here's a day I spent with a couple of friends show-prepping one of the group's convertible:

Any more polishing/detailing nuts out there?
