FILLERS
I'll be doing a video this week on polishes, glazes and sealants that fill and showing you the better products that fill and the others that are outdated
Filling swirl marks and such has been around for decades but unlike many well known products, the new breed fill for a long time
Tip - when applying any polishing product you are currently using such as NXT tech wax, once you have finished applying it and you notice that the swirls in your paint are gone, get some wax and grease remover and wipe over the area with it using a microfibre towel and buff clean.
Examine again - I bet you that the swirls will come back straight away.
Even if you do not do this, the swirls will be back in no time and you are back to square one
the new age fillers will fill for many months if not several. this is the best way to polish and glaze older finishes that have been cut by machine too many times and to keep as much clearcoat on new cars so that maximum depth and gloss can be achieved

Wow that must be some seriously strong prepsol
I was going to recommend that, however try isopropyl alcohol
That will strip waxes and is not quite as powerful
An even safer product is Dewaxer from Paint protection direct.

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

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
