Newbie with queries!

**GregR** · 07-29-2006, 02:23 PM

Hi all,

Newb to detailing, and I have a quick query. I have some minor swirls and defects in my paintwork and purchased some Autoglym Super Resin Polish to try to remedy. However, i was then recommended to buy their Ultra Deep Gloss Shine as that would be appropriate. So, having had a bash with both - neither seemed to make a difference!

Autopia to the rescue I hope!

(i) Which product is the more abrasive?

(ii) at which point am I `cutting` the paintwork, on application or removal?

I really just want to know where I should be putting in the elbow grease!

Many thanks indeed. If it has any baring, the car is a black Lotus Elise that I hear has a hard laquer on it.

Cheers,

Greg

It would help if you had a pc

not sure on the products though. Good luck, best bet would be to find a local autopian who is willing to have a look at it.

Autoglym won`t remove swirls and it will dry "grey" and dull the finish

If you are polishing by hand it`s going to take a bit of time and patience

For Swirls start with Sonus Hand Polish Kit of Restore plus Final Finish with a Pro Applicator then finish with P21S carnauba..
