Cheer for that you are full of info good to have people like you on this forum so if i wash it then clay and then put NXT Tech Wax on would it be a good idea to put gold class on aswell or the other way round not to sure got the NXT Tech Wax thinking about buying some meguiars on the weekend just trying to make up my mind on what i need from washing to the finish:S

I would use one or the other with Gold Glass and NXT, each will remove each other if used in conjunction.
I would wash, clay and use the NXT myself. You need a pure carnuba wax to use after the NXT rather then the Gold Class. If you want something from Halfords, go for the Meguiars Stage 3 Carnuba. If you shopping on the net look into P21s Wax, Poorboys Nattys Wax or Meguiars 16.

Use there glass plish, fast glass and tar remover here to.
Super Resin, apply by PC and a Sonus green polishing pad, or by hand with a yellow Meguiars foam hand pad. Remove with a Microfier towel.
Extra Gloss, again apply with a yellow Meguiars foam hand pad, and remove after 45-60 mins with a Microfiber towel.

I might jump on the back of this thread if I can as r-jay is a wealth of knowledge.
I currently use NXT tech wax that is applied by hand, but I find that it only really lasts properly for just over a week judging by its ability to repell the rain. Is there a better wax to use, like the poorboys and the megs with the odd numbers they have or am I ok to just stick with my NXT.
Also I bought some AG Super Resin at the weekend but waiting for the PC to arrive before I use that ( from the tracking it arrived in the UK from L.A tonight, yippie
) I was planning on using one pad for the polish, one pad for the wax then the buffing bonnet to remove. Would it be better removing by hand??
Cheers
Chris ( hopefully catch up with you at the meet r-jay )

I am not a big fan of NXT had my bottle since it first came out in the states and only used it a handfull of times!
For durability I prefer AG Resin and Gloss, 5 months protection on my daily driven car. I would apply the Super Resin with a PC + polishing pad and remove with a Microfiber cloth. I find it much easier then using the PC with a bonnet. Try both and see how you go. The resin can be applied so thinly with a PC there wipe off is minimal.
If you go down this route, or ebven stick with the NXT, look into a Pure Carnuba wax to go over the top, same products I suggested earlier P21s Wax, Poorboys Nattys Wax or Meguiars 16, or even Souveran for ultimate looks and dont mind 40 quid for a pot of wax!
What Pads have you got coming for the PC?
Will catch you at the Mids Meet no worries on that one.

Cheers Rich, will give it a try when it comes and I get some good weather, hopefully before the meet
Got the Orange, Green and Blue pads coming in this pack: http://www.autopia-carcare.com/son-daspol-kit.html
Am sure tempted by a pot of that P21-S carnauba wax though from what I've just read, think i'll get some on the order now.

The polisher kit including P&P turned out at around £125 and the 110V equipment cost around the £45 mark.
So in total everything has cost around £170 give or take a pound or two.

P21s is a great wax on all colours, easy on and off, and looks great. You will like it.
The DAS pads will see you fine. Depending on your paint work you can use the SRP on the Green or Blue Pads.

Cheers Rich,
P21s has just been ordered, will give it a try with the AG SR on the pads when everything has arrived, sorted and working. Just need to pickup some microfibres, which wont be a problem and I'm done.
Thanks for the help.

Nice one. I recommend the Extra Gloss after the Resin, then you P21s, well worth it.
That what i've got today in the post m8, Megs clay, AG Super Resin & Extra Gloss, P21s wax. Gonna be doing it tomorrow, can't wait
. How hard to you rub the clay bar on the surface m8? Yours looks superb!

As the cars are shipped over here and sit around at the import centre. Well worth it yes.
Use a plastic sandwich bag, put your hand in it and rub it across the paint (after washing) and see if it catches on anything. If so clay will remove this.
I use a car wash water mix in a small spray bottle. 2 or 3 cap fulls of Meguiars Gold Class Wash in a 600ml spray bottle normally.
