Post

Back to the top
Hi all need some help. So I’ve had my cabrio painted in base coat and clear.:thumbs:And there was some dirt in the paint as it was done in my lock up.:(So I have wet sanded and machine buffed it with Farecla G3, G10, and then a Glace.
So do I now go for a resin polish like the autoglym   which I don`t have or Meguiar`s NZT Tech wax 2.0 which I do have .Also I have some Mer polish on the shelf to.
Or should I polish then wax the car.:ocf_emoticons__dontknow::ocf_emoticons__dontknow:Also should I hand polish or machine buff. As the Meguiar`s NZT Tech wax say`s hand or machine.
Any help would be a great help and cheers all.:christmas:

If you have machine polished the car and glazed it and your happy with the finish then I reccomend a wax and personally I would do it by hand as I find it much easier.
