Paint has oxidised what to use??

[leeroy299]

Need some advice,

 

i want to get my paint work looking like new with out getting a detailing company out.

I dont mind putting in the work, but where to start?? what to use?

[rtbiscuit]

sounds like it needs a good claybar, then a good polish and then some good wax

Any product recommendation?

Any product recommendation?

 

i use a meguairs claybar kit, i think they are about £18 from halfrauds

 

i also have meg's polish but also have dodo juice lime and prime which would be more for prepping than a proper polish

 

wax wise it depends on the colour and the preference. i have a blade silver and like dodo juice supernatural, topped up with dodo juice redmist.

 

lots of other good products out there. but am slowly swapping to dodo juice as i work my way up the detailing ladder.

 

megs is a good starting point.

thanks, was looking at meguairs. dodo juice never heard of it

[rtbiscuit]

dodo juice is

 

i find the dodo hard wax takes less effort to use than the liquid wax from megs and the finish lasts longer

for clay, Bilt hamber

 

Clay lube, dodo juice born slippy concentrate

 

Either lime prime or lime prime lite to polish and jewel the surface

 

Waxes are generally the same so whatever takes your fancy.

Lime Prime lite has no (or very very little) abrasives so won't polish.

 

Lime Prime is pretty good as a light polish / pre wax cleanser and is ideal for the 350Zs soft paint. If you don't fancy that then Autoglym Super Resin Polish is a polish loaded with fillers so it can look quite nice once sealed in with a wax.

 

 

Another fan of Bilt Hamber clay here. Use the soft as it's far more forgiving than the hard clay.

As Stew has said, if you have oxidisation, you will need a polish with some cut - so Dodo Lime Prime over Lime Prime Lite which has no abrasives. As suggested, if you want to stick to all Halfords kit, then Megs Clay, Super Resin Polish and Extra Gloss Protection are a good start. Mind Dodo clay, born slippy, Lime Prime and wax of your choise arent much more expensive, last longer and give a better finish over all. Just depends on if you want to go out now and buy the bits or are happy to wait for delivery. I use i4detailing, Matt is great and has super fast delivery - you'll likely get it all tomorrow if you order it before lunch!

We will see a lot more oxidisation if the ash comes down to earth

LPL is more of a glaze and pre cleaner than polish but sometimes you dont need to cut your paint with lime prime.
