Tornado Red
« on: December 27, 2012, 08:40:17 pm »
Would like some help with the best process and products to use on my tornado red eddy to get that lovely deep, wet look shine? I don't own a machine polisher so everything will be done by hand.

Thanks.

Mine's red too and I'm not sure there are best products for a specific colour - although claimed...

Get a clay bar, a decent polish and then a glaze.

 Top up with a good wax and even a sealant. I use Dodo Juice products and if you don't fancy shelving out you can buy panel pots of Dodo wax for around a fiver. Used thinly they'll do 10 cars and you can then pick and chose your wax for red - I.e. Orange Crush or Purple Haze

As the experts on here will tell you it's all about your preparation- clay and polish etc

Try Clean your Car or Rubbish Boys websites.

Good luck

Cheers pal.
I'm already on cleanyourcar. When I say process I mean more like order of use and more importantly which products people use.

What polish, glaze, and wax would people recommend?

All my  products come from Cleanyourcar.  I use Iron X then clay the car with Sonus Ultra Fine Clay. Have had great results with Clearkote Red Moose Glaze and Meguiars fine polish then either Victoria Concourse Red wax or Poorboys Natty Paste Wax. Have seen a couple of red cars looking awesome with the Dodo Juice Orange Crush as well as the LSP product.

On my TR ED30......

LSP being Victoria Wax...



LSP being Poorboys Natty's Paste...

Very hard to get the results unless you have all the gear and facilities to do it.
