Polish - Black Boxster

[mattbcardiff]

What is the best shampoo, cleanser & wax, applicator, method and product for polishing a Black Boxster?

I dont want to spend hundreds on this so sensible suggestion only please! I was thinking P21 cleanser then the polish but would I get a good finsh by hand or do i need a polisher?

Cheers

P21 is pretty good and so is their carranuba (no idea how to spell it) wax. Key thing is its quick and easy for an ok finish.

NXT Tech Wax is easy to apply circa £15 (worth a try)

I use Klay Bar followed by Zymol/Swissol HD Cleanse followed by Colinite 476S. Colinite lasts for 1 year and costs £16

As good as Collinite is, no carnauba wax lasts for 1 year. Zymol Royale would perhaps last 6 months and most of the good ones get to about 3. For a cheap carnauba wax, Collinite offers fantastic beading for a low price. Shame about the container and smell.

NXT is good but it's not a wax, a bit of a misnomer on Meguiars part, it's more of a glaze so offers a great depth of shine but little protection.

IMO it depends on the condition.

If the paint is pretty much immaculate something like the the P21S paint cleaner and a wax such as Collinte 476 will do a really good job for a grand total of £25.

If the paint has light swirls/spiderwebs I'd say try something such as Autoglym SRP, the downside is it can produce a fair bit of dust, but it's dirt cheap, will remove very light swirls and fill light swirls, and leaves a nice finish ready for wax such as Collinite.

In fairness a Zymol/Swissol kit will start at about £100 and you should get 8-10 applications out of an 8oz bottle of HD Cleanse and probably 30 or so (minimum) applications of wax from a tub so when you break it down over time/per application it's not at all expensive.

Mezerna FMJ is the best wax I've ever used on a black car. Simply unbelievable results.

The new Autoglym ultra deep shine is fantastic-fills the swirls and looks amazing. Needs fairly regular applications but its really easy to apply and polish off- no dust-no white marks and even smells quite nice!
