Pies, you going to PF?

If so I need to meet you so you can tell me what to purchase from the polishingcompnay stall.

All of it no doubt

[DustyC]

If I buy a 1/4 of what he says it should still leave me with some beer money and time to drive it then!

[Podie]

IIRC he uses something from a small specialist company... you can't even order it over the 'net..!

[DustyC]

He probably has his own hive of pedigree bees producing a perfect mica blue wax for his car.

Pies uses P21-S Carnuba Wax from www.seriousperformance.co.uk They are considerably cheaper than thepolishingcompany, but there is no online ordering. I use Meguiar's Gold Class Clear Coat Wax. £12.99 Excellent results.

won't be there (family comitments)

But this should keep you going

P21S wax and P21S GEPC

The polishing company do a kit on their website,it might be a good deal as the wheel cleaner is supposed to be good, i haven't tried it myself, but it gets good reviews

Meguiar's Microfibre Drying Towel
Microfibre Cloths (you can never have enough )

If they have one of those dusters for light dusting they are good,but only if you garage your car

Best wheel cleaner I've ever used. Bar none.

The Porsche wheel cleaner available from OPCs is P21 rebadged. Its fabulous. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Me too. The P21S carnuba wax is excellent and it's sister product Gloss Enhancing Paintwork Cleanser is quite frankly amazing. I had some nasty discoulouration (embedded dirt) which I couldn't get off by any normal washing method - but with that stuff it just wiped right off. Very very impressed. Both prodcts are easy and pretty quick to use.

Cheers mate.
I'll print this thread and take it with me.

I've been wanting one of those dusters for a while now.

As for microfibre cloths, are they like my AutoGlym chamois?

Nope

Not dear either, but far better than cotton cloths for polishing and buffing after waxing

[DustyC]

Forgot to take the printout so I bought lots of things with numbers on.

- 303 UV Protectant (for the interior and all things spongey (rubber trim, tyres etc))
- P21S Gloss enhancing blah blah (& applicator sponge)
- P21S Wax
- P21S Wheel gel
- P21S(?) Shampoo conditioner (take 2 bottles in to the garage? )
- Windscreen wipes
- Small microfibre cloth.

All in a nice box with instructions.

Now all I need is some good weather and free time. Hopefully before Griff growl. (Any of you lot coming?)

A question: can you apply the P21 wax after using Autoglym super resin polish? I have loads of Autoglym stuff but they don't (AFAIK) do a wax.
