Josh Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 There are a few detailers on here so in answer to your question, you'll get some decent answers. Off the top of my head; Peter Richards and Stonkin. Sorry for missing others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathWraith Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Invisible touch looked very impressive from what I have seen! Around £350 for their stage 1 polishing etc for the Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan294 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I have used Poorboys World Black hole Glaze for a quick fix, or Menzerna Final finish polish works well. That's on a red car too. Came up a treat! had to be machined though, a mate of mine who's a detailer did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Menzerna Final Finish, as said it needs applying via machine, used it many times with a rotary and got great results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing just what a difference it makes! Then apply a decent wax over the top, Zaino or something from memory.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Needs wiping down after with IPA to get rid of the oils in it and then a decent wax, I use AG HD wax which is pretty cheap tbh but it lasts ages and give superb results for the money.

Guest tony1979 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Using a machine?? is that some sort of buffer?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Brown Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Using a machine?? is that some sort of buffer?? Yes mate its a buffer, if you dont have one already i would advise getting one that has adjustable speed settings gives a much better finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraDan24 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I've recently been given a buffer, so i'm looking forward to testing mine out. Whats IPA out of curiousity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) Autoglym Super Resin polish is fantastic, it acts as a filler but if you want them removed and not masked ; you will need a machine polish by a detailer; mine here is done with the resin polish. it does greatly reduce the swirls http://s1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb469/clodola/Car%20Cleaned%2010%20April%202011/?albumview=slideshow Edited June 21, 2011 by Jellybean (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I've recently been given a buffer, so i'm looking forward to testing mine out. Whats IPA out of curiousity? Hi mate, just seen this. IPA is 'Isopropyl alcohol', you can get it off Ebay or if you know a printer they use it. Mix it in equal amounts with water and spray on paint after polishing and wipe down, it will take off the oils and any remaining polish without harming the paint and will provide a perfect base for the wax.

Cheers Paul, it just so happens that i know a printer, so i shall see if i can get my hands on some. Are all buffers dual action, as in rotary motion and oscilating, as mine appears to be? I'm not sure if its speed adjustable or not, i'd have to check when home in a weeks time. Where's the best place to get hold of that Menzerna Final Finish also?

Si_s Supe Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I haven't detailed mine yet but am looking forward to it! Need a good 2-3 days spare though! The steps I'll use will be: -Wash with fairy liquid to degrease -Sonus clay bar -Wash with Megs to remove clay lube -Machine using suitable Menzerna compound/pad combo. (least aggressive needed to remove swirls) -Machine using Super Resin Polish -Machine using Poorboys White Diamond glaze x2 (use the Black Hole version for dark colours) -Carlack sealant x2 -Colonite 476s wax x2 - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
