Wax question neewbie

<< < (3/3)

Jonnyed30:
Cheers can tu clay everything that is painted like the bumpers. Do you go in straight lines or circular motions. Sorry for the neewbie questions just wanna make sure I don't harm the paint in anyway

AJP:
Yeah anything painted. Go in straight lines. You'll get some instructions when you buy the clay so just read up before you start off, and there's plenty of guides on youtube to give you an idea too.

Don't expect the paint to look much different once you've clayed it, it's more for lifting off the contaminants you don't always see. But once you've done a small section you should be able to feel the difference - it'll be really slick and smooth, and ready for polish.

Jonnyed30:
Cheers mate I pretty sure iv got it now you've been a great help just gotta find the time to get it done I'm guessing it's the quickest of things to do properly.  Roll on next day off  :happy2:

AJP:
No worries pal.

The only wax I'd use is Swissvax. Anything from Shield to Crystal Rock. They range from £120 - £800 for 200ml should last between 6 months and a year depending on how it's washed and if you use a bit of detailed spray. They do some cheaper ones ore specific paint types too

I think the Auto Finesse waxes get good reviews too. Not used them yet though  :happy2:
