If you are bored around 20:00 this coming Saturday take a look at a program on ITV4 called the Used Car Roadshow, I will be on there doing a quick wash, clay and polish demo……….

[Zzzz...]

ok today is one of the first time I am going to try to do all processes wash, clay, polish and wax...

 

some advice about polish and wax... when they say "apply to a small area" and then buff to a shine... etc...

 

what does a "small area" entail...

 

Palm size? Half a door panel? Quarter of a door?

 

and how do people prevent getting white bits which tend to appear after a few days... (remains of polish...) very annoying...because i check and double check... and you still get them 2 days later... (maybe after rain/dust?)

[Trev-the-Rev]

I usually do a panel at a time unless its a large area like the bonnet in which case I do half at a time.

 

A quick wipe over with a damp chamois at the end will usually get rid of the white bits.

Unfortunately a quick wipe over with a damp chamois will create swirls. You'd be better damping a water magnet slightly and then patting the areas that way. It will avoid swirls and hopefully pick up the residue!

Just been to the Chester meet so a few have seen what Stevie has done. I have tried to keep up to standard but must admit that after he has finished, its easy. Its well worth getting the basics sorted, easier to keep it looking good then. Slight panic when I arrived and parked next to 2 other kuros, Thanks Stevie.
