At present I am using

Turtle Wax Liquid Ice Polish with special foam applicator, then clean off with Micro-fibre cloth

Followed by Turtle Wax Ice Detailing Liquid Spray, then buffed up with another Micro-fibre cloth.

All Black Plastics Cleaned with Turtle Wax Plastic Cleaner

Tyres Dressed with Turtle Wax Spray Foam.

Will up load a picture later of how clean both my cars look after 6 hours work this weekend ;-)

Just been having a close look at my paintwork....its Nocturno Blue btw,
How thick is the top coat...I assume its base coat and then laquer. I have loads of very small chips (pinhead or smaller) and a few minute scratches on the paintwork, and although they only seem to be surface blemishes, they show white  :(
I have just had a go with T Cut but it does not take them out, so must be deeper than they look.
Does that 'Colour Magic' or is it 'Colour Fast' work.....the one that comes in colours !!!
Obviously I am not in the money market for resprays.

stone chips impossible ..wipe the scratches and use a color protector ..will do the job cheaply.. :y

I use a polish machine..

after washing I dry and bandage all plastic parts
then use farecla G3 with a heavy duty head..

then use "formula 1 scratch out" to clean whats left from the first step with a finer soft head..

last step blue colored sonax paint protector.. :y

ps: must note that some members use clay bar..

pps: my miggy in the picture is completely painted ..

I did the sanding which took approx 2 weeks..

and whenever I do polishing ceiling alone only takes 4-5 hours..

Very impressive result cem 8-) 8-) :y
