Whats the best polish for our trophys?
I mean stuff we can put on, not stuff that has to be done by a pro, and lasts a while?

Best polish?
7mat has some good stuff : http://www.i4detailing.co.uk
Scott, polish will make the car look better but offers no protection, once you polish you will need to seal the paint and then a good wax over that will get it looking great.
I know that all sounds like a chore but like Cue said Matt is very helpful and will be able to offer advice on some good easy to use products.

Something very easy to use & readily availible is AutoGlyms Super Resin Polish.
This combined with some wax (I know it should be sealed, but a PROPER clean can turn into a whole weekend from my experience) should improve things.

Did my first wash last weekend. Then applied turtlewax Platinum Series Ultragloss wax using an orbital polisher, It's removed all the swirl marks and "holograms" and the paint work is completely smooth to the touch, plus it doesn't mark the black trims. Then applied Turtlewax Gloss Guard to protect the wax. A bit obsessive I know and had a few curtains twitching when I using the orbital polisher!
I wish I had the patience to do a full on job.
I wash and polish and I've lost the will to live by this time :?
Turini's arnt the easiest to clean either

Forget all this messing about and get it permagarded

Permagard does not compare to a well waxed car.
Agreed Steve, but if like me you haven't got the time or the patience for a full on job it's a great compromise.

i disagree, mine still looks polished 12 months since it was last done. For the first 3 months it cleans itself whenever it rains.
I don't think the trained eye could tell the two apart net alone the layman in the street, plus pg last a hell of a lot longer

Dont think there is anyone near me that does permagard machine polishing.
My mate has a machine polisher and he recons the stuff he uses lasts 12 months, maybe he uses permagard on his, i will have to ask him.

only PG themselves do the PG treatment, it's not like supagaurd who sell it to anyone.
Closest place to you i think would be Stockport. not exactly that close.....

Maybe its supaguard he uses then, still need to find out.
My car had supaguard on when I got it from Reno, it's pretty crap really

Not going to start this up again :wink: but i had supagaurd on my car from new and it was good, certainly not better than permaguard but if it's applied well it's almost as good.
Artdealer rates it and that would be good enough for me.

Thats probably the key phrase there ^
The illegal immigrants who work as valeters at Reno applied it :?
