:lol: you should go on those infomercials, that is some transformation helped with some wheel trims and a bit of back to black

i take it you are from kerry?



ITs a kildare reg kerry is ky

Im from Dublin the car was imported form the uk and registered in Kildare

Mirror Glaze cost about £25 a tin. Thing is youd get about 15 waxes out of that

Not sure were to get it my brother is a fiberglass laminator and hes been using it for the last 10 years as a release wax to release whatever product he is making from its mould. I thought he was full of sh*t when he said to use it to wax the car but the pictures dont lie.

What i did was used rubbing compound first to get any crap off the car(obviously washed it before that)

Take the compound off

Waxed the car a pannel at a time. used a roughish cloth(towel type matirial) to take the wax off then used a smooth cloth(an old teashirt) to shine it, kinda like shining a pair of shoes

easy peasy really too around an hour to do:)

with a black car your up for more work than a white one you will need swirl remover ,yellow wax and some quick detail to get off water marks if you want it look sharp all the time it took me 3 hrs to use swirl remover ,then showcar glaze ,then yellow wax but every one at work said how shinny it was and went out and bought the meguairs

All those who have used Meguiars will testify that it is way better than any other polish on the market apart from maybe Zymol.:)

Have decided to clean my car properly after owning it a few months now, some people say autoglym some say mequiars.

What is the best polish for a black corsa ideas please?:wave:

and also ive noticed some stone chips on the passenger door will the polish help remove them or does that turtle wax with the crayon work?
