Which wax works well?
 

and other such alliteration..

having got nose to nose with the fairing recently i've become a bit anal about all the tiny scratches on my plastic..

Any recomendatations on what's best to polish it out or colour it in with...


Ta,

:notworthy:

Re: Which wax works well?
 

The only way to remove scratches and swirls is by random orbital polisher tbh, if you use tcut it will just leave finer scratches.

Avoid silicone based waxes, carnuba wax is best IMO, zymol do cheaper ones as opposed to their £8k one starting from about £40 but will last years as it is only used in very small amounts.

Here's my sprint...

Poorboys SSR-2.5 is awesome for scratches and swirls.

What colour is your bike? If its darker you can also use Poorboys Black Hole show glaze.

Re: Which wax works well?
 

I use both of these and finish with a carnuba wax.

Yeah I use Nattys Paste (smells brilliant) and Chemical guys Jetseal 109 sealer.

No nothing about wax, I'm just subscribing to the thread because I have a new car and want to protect it with a good wax sometime soon.

I use Poorboys blackhole on my dark car which is pretty decent at hiding small nicks:

Only a proper polish will get rid of scratches, or if they are deep then a respray. As for wax I use FPK1000 or Collinite 476S, really durable stuff. I use this on my wheels and lower body panels.

On top I use dodo juice, any flavour will do but my favourite is Hard Candy

Here is my beemer after a good polish and wax with said products:

I use Autoglym super resin polish after a wash and dry.

NICE MOTOR!

autoglym super resin every time for me. Got a bucket of other stuff in the garage but going from spending 14 hours a weekend (i kid you not) polishing cars i really cant be arsed anymore. it does everything i need.

Re: Which wax works well?
 

I used to use autoglym myself and it's ok but it's old hat now tbh they have all moved on now.
That zymol stuff is unbelievable, makes cleaning the vehicle after a breeze.
