Cheers for sorting me out with some decent polish, got home and gave the 40 a good clean, hopefully tomorrow will give the stuff a whirl.

Any tips on alppying the polish for best results? Que Dave.

Shake for a good 2 minutes before hand and continue to shake whilst working. As you see the polish is in 2 parts and you must get a good suspension for best results

Use a rung out cloth to apply - stops all the polish going into the cloth first.
Polish in straight lines rather than circles. It is soo easy to put on there really is no way you can go wrong.

And there was me expecting the ol famous - "Wax on wax off" line

Cheers Dave.

First you need to wash the car using any kind of car wash and wax.
After rinsing the car using clean water, leave it to dry for a little while to get the excess water off.
Then while the car is still damp you can begin to apply then polish.
I use an old damp car sponge to apply the polish, as Dave said using straight lines and not circular motions, try to keep the sponge slightly damp.
You can also use the polish on all the windows including the windscreen, so that will save you having to polish the windows.
You can also use the poish on your front and rear lights too.
Don't worry too much about going over any plastic trim as the polish is much easier to remove than 'normal polishes'.
Once polished has been applied, simply wipe polish off using a soft cloth and sit back and enjoy your handiwork! LOL

The polish i use is called Presta and is imported from the states.
If anyone is interested i can supply, prices are £15 if you want to collect from a meet or i can post for £20.

By the way it was good to meet everyone at the stretton fox meet, especially the newbies!
Nice to see new and old faces and the car park was a good sight to see.
See you all at the next one!!!!

Just buy it from and use it as Steve (Waxworks) says and it just works Goof, no white powder residue and incredibly easy to polish off

**S40xs** · Friday 27th May 2005, 20:51

Clean front end. Tomorrow (hangover permitting) im going to re-do the black bits and finish off the interior cleaning.

**alan** · Saturday 28th May 2005, 16:37

presta is good stuff. have all their products. their compound realy is the best for using on fresh paint after flatting. also the swirl mark reomver is really good in use with the special foam pad. really good for dark blues or blacks. to finish off i use swisol concorso wax for a really long lastin shine but it costs alot
