Hi matt, what sort of products do you offer? price range and so forth, would you have a website?
Im interested in bringing out the shine in my car

Im using Meguiars Wax at the moment (around $30 a bottle) comes with the pad, and I use a micro fibre to get it off

-Wash the car
-Chamois it with Enka fill (best Chamois i've used)
-Apply the meguiars wax with the pad (using swirl motions)
-Leave it for 10mintues
-Buffer it off with a microfibre cloth

would this be the right way to go?
thanks
-ASh

NEW CLAY BARS

Interested in using better and easier clay bars for decontamination of your car's surfaces

Check these out

Looking at low to mid thirties for these new UK made clay bars that only need water with no soap or surfactants that make clays fall to bits

Matt I've just done my ELGT copy rims in ClearKote Vanilla Moose Wax and then sealed it with the Jeff's Werkstatt Acrylic Jett is that alright to use on rims?

Or should I have done it the opposite way round?

Hi Timmeh

I can't believe that you still have the clearkote VM, how old is that bottle
Anyway, that is the correct way and acrylic jett is a superb rim protectant

Take care

Honestly, if we had the time to use Glare Zero, Hi Temp, Menzerna then Glare Micro Finish and Glare Advanced paint sealant, that red MG boot would look better again

Yeah I take the time to shake the bottle thoroughly every couple of weeks cause the components separate. Is there something out now that out does the Clearkote VM? I take it it is not produced anymore?

Thats good of you

Yes there are quite a few that outdo the clearkote VM (yes it is still being made but not enviro safe due to it's 100% dependance on petroleum ingredients

Prima Amigo worlds best glaze - this blows clearkote away with it's far superior ultra slickness, ability to darken the shade of dark paints, is a polymer glaze and thus any sealant or wax in the world can be applied to it, it is silicone free and has long term filling power, like glare

It's also around the same price.

Glare Pro Polish and Glare Advanced - give a glass like wet finish
