recommend a good wax?

If it's Menzerna then you need PO85 RD3.02

If it's the 3M stuff then you need the Fast Cut plus

These are both fairly abrasive, and would be best to finish with either a finishing polishing such as either of he ones you have listed.


and the Meguiars quick clay system is perfect and you'll be amazed at how much shit, claying your car will remove from the paint!

Always best to use a pre wax cleaner before applying any wax so it can bond properly to the paint.

First polish.
Second, use a good pre wax cleaner. The Zymol HD Cleanse is very good and smells like chocolate but you do need to spritz with water to use properly else it can be a PITA to get off. I prefer the Dodo Juice lime prime.
They do 2. Lime prime has mild abrasives and lime prime light has no abrasives.
Then apply the wax. The key to applying collinite is to apply it as thinly as possible.
Many people tend to cake it on and then spend ages trying to get it off. A pea size should cover half a bonnet, maybe more.

thanks for that coxy,all questions are answered for me...the zymol chocolate is very tempting to taste .. i have seen my mate spray it afterwards with a spayer and water..he also does only 1 panel at a time,but has a lot more time on his hands than me
