Nice Weekend, should I polish my 996 ? And what with ?

[Jon_Bentley]

have always used autogylm shampoo and then dried it and used the autogylm silicon polish in the red bottle, is it worth investing in the zymol type products and using the clay bar etc or should i just stick with what i know ?

If i were to go and get some where, what and how much, and of what ? i dont want to spend an arm and a leg to achieve only slightly better results than I can already if you know what i mean

I live in the midlands so help about suppliers would be nice

thanks

Jon

I suggest you get a sampler/starter kit as these work out to be excellent value and give you everything you need.

The Zymol products are excellent and well worth it in my opinion.

I get all mine by mail order from John Drake who is a top bloke.

Here is his website:

Have a look at my profile picture to see the type of results I am getting. Hope this helps.

After several years of using Autoglym products (which I was always happy with) and having tried Meguiars Gold Class (good results but quite time-consuming to remove), I used Meguiars NXT Tech Wax for the first time today.

Really, really pleased with the results - deep gloss and lustre on my Seal Grey paintwork and, very importantly for a lazy beggar like myself, very easy to apply and remove.

If you want a half-way house between generic products and top-end stuff like Zymol, I'd recommend giving this stuff a try.

Happy polishing!

I suggest forgetting about polishing it , cleaning it or anything else like that.

I suggest driving it, preferably like you stole it.

P21S Carnuba Wax Paste wins my bet....NXT liq wax is easy to apply and looks great on dark colours, but like any other liquid wax, the durability is short...

So, after applying the 'polish' in the red bottle, what kind of wax did you use to seal the paint surface?

Ah, Danger Man. I wondered what he was doing these days.

The new Autoglym product is also superb- its called ultra deep shine. Its an easy to use product. If you want to do it right then you need to Zymol (First HD cleanse , then clay , then wax). Its actually easier to do when its nice and warm as it sort of "bakes" onto the car. Results on my Ocean blue 996 and base black Boxster were awesome. Saying that my 360 has been "paint corrected" and Zymole Royale'd- its really something else but costs around £400 to do.
