Polishing/cleaning
Evening about to order some new machine pads and polish.
Haven't really polished the car properly since I've had it. Black e92 What do people use? I've got a das-6 pro ds polisher Used to use poorboys then colinite 476(if that's the right number) Any better recommend? Thanks tom |

Depends on the scratches , SRP will fill them if you dont fancy polishing them out.
If you do fancy having a go there are loads of products available, just find something you get on with. I use a rotary polisher instead of a DA with Menzerna 2.03 and 3M Orange pads on the BMW as the paint is quite hard. 3M finesse is good as well. Really is a case of finding something that works for you as not everyone will get on with the same products .

Kestrel Das-6 DA
Meguiars Microfibre pads Meguiars D300 Meguiars D301 Menzerna SF4000 But Im just learning the whole machine polishing thing. My favourite detailing product I have bought is easily Britemax Spray & Shine Premium Detail Spray. I struggled to find something to suit the Alpine White and found the Britemax to be brilliant, way surpassed my expectations for a quick detailer. |

Been using it for about 2 years and love it, luckily get a massive discount as they are a team partner.
