CAR POLISH
GLENN 70:
So what car polish do you use on your stang . Whats the best polish/wax you have used .
rocket:
The word Polish can be a loose term. To actually polish a car you use a buffing machine with mostly foam pads and a good quality polish to clean and shine the paintwork. My favourite range of polishes are Menzerna, which will give your car paintwork a beautiful, swirl free shine.
EDIT 12/3/13
We are now able to receive discounts on car care products from Waxit and Chemical Guys thanks to the efforts of jusTANG- see below

There are some polishes which can be used to hand polish a car, but that is extremely hard yacka. There are a few in the Meguiars range.
But once you have polished a car, you then need to protect that paint with either a wax or sealant. I suspect these are what you are referring to?
I once conducted a wax test using about 20 different waxes. There was a difference in their performance. Some were difficult to wipe off, others left residue in crevices and some left a better shine than others. My value for money favourite is called DP MaxWax which performed well in every way and only costs about $40. No1. favourite is called Wolfgang Fuzion Estate Wax which is also made in the USA and costs about $175.

Some people prefer a Sealant to a Wax. My favourite is ChemGuys Jetseal109. Gives a superb shine.

If you are fussy about maintaining your nice, shiny paint - it is necessary to use a good quality washing detergent. My no1. is ChemGuys Citrus Wash & Gloss used together with a Chenille or Microfibre Mitt.

Unfortunately, this subject bores the shyte out of most people. It is not an easy job to keep that paintwork in pristine condition. For those interested, here is a Link to a US detailing forum
http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/
I buy a lot of car cleaning gear from Autogeek. Prices are excellent and if you specify shipping via US Postal Service, then shipping prices are reasonable.
