What condition is the car in?

Loads of swirl marks etc?

Because I don’t have the balls to use a machine polisher and don’t have a huge budget to spend on cleaning product this is what I do. (Every 4-6 weeks)

1. Snow foam
2. rinse
3. clay
4. rinse
5. wash with fairy liquid to remove all old waxes
6. Gold class wash
7. Meg’s Wheels cleaner
8. Meg’s stg 1, 2, 3
9. Poorboys wax
10. Wax wheels (take them off makes it a lot easier)

Use pad’s to apply the polishes etc, for removing polishes / waxes use a micro fibre I also use a micro fibre for drying.

My weekly wash to keep it looking nice:

1. snow foam
2. rinse
3. Megs wheel cleaner
4. Wash with Gold class
5. dry with micro fibre
6. apply a wax
7. wax wheels

I'm not detailer but i always have a nice finish on my cars and it doesn't cost me a lot to do.

Lamb wool mint and two buckets are needed.

One bucket for soap the other fresh water to rinse the mit off in.

Hope this help's 8)

Ive got a Black 197, I know how hard it is to keep it clean and free from swirl marks! I manage to get mine looking pretty damn good from using these 2 products...

I use a good filler on mine called Poor boys Black hole, kinda hides the swirls by filling them rather than remove them, find its really easy to use and good results!

followed by a finnish with finnish kare k1000p. Really good sealent and high high gloss!! Really cant rate this stuff enough

Heres an example after a 65 mile drive down the m6/m42/m40, cleaned the day before and Still shiney





Good Luck
