OllyB Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Did mine today, top tip, do not use poor boys ssr in the sun or on warm bodywork. I had to resort to clay to get it off the roof! Good stuff tho I'm allmost swirl free! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnH Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Is there any benefit in the foaming? Some will say it does nothing, other swear by it. Personally I do it as it's a fun way to start cleaning and gives me time to do the alloys etc while its working - anything that may help loosen dirt and avoid me scratching my paint has to be worth it in my book.

stuarty Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Agh right apologies what constitutes a detail then out of curiosity? What ever you feel your car needs mate! But usually a good wash, de tar, clay, polish, cleanse and wax! The list of thing you can do is endless, but as long as you remove all contaminants, polish either by hand or machine then seal or wax thats it! Anyone tells you any different there either selling products/ services or have been listening to someone who is! But using a machine polisher is defo a skill and you need to know what to use as the lacquer depts are different on every panel of your car.

What he said. I find it does loosen the dirt but definately dont expect to be able to just use snow foam and it will be clean. Also as the dirt is loose it does reduce the chance of scratching massively. I have a lot of tar on the front bumper which when using the tar remover that i've got (Autoglym) does nothing! Anyone any advice with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I was just a coat of wax off my thread title being correct however I could argue that the super resin polish is an "all in one" and therefore constitutes this Edited April 23, 2013 by Diab2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent a fortune on stuff especially Dodo Juice products, but i always end up going back the AG SRP as it contains fillers in it that cover up but dont remove swirls. Then AG HD cleanser followed with AG HD wax. I'm a novice though, but i'm going to invest in a machine buff and practice on an old car! Might be worth buying some wax though as SRP doesn't really contain that much wax! Edited April 23, 2013 by stuarty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it does come in a blue box (well, tin, but it is blue.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
