    polish, wax, sealant, glaze... I'm confused!! Help!

    TooBad - Just looking at polishing/cutting compounds. Again, many options... This scholl gear sounds awesome but i'm a little worried with your comment re aggressiveness, not sure what the reality is here? Otherwise i'm starting to lean towards maybe just purchasing the DA with a kit so at least...

    polish, wax, sealant, glaze... I'm confused!! Help!

    Thanks lads. That Das Pro unit looks to be good value, i shall go with that. Overwhelming choice of pads and polish but i'll have a look. As to the paint on the white car, its not a cheap a car and wasn't a cheap respray - but as to what paint they ACTUALLY used i couldn't confirm!!.. It's been...

    polish, wax, sealant, glaze... I'm confused!! Help!

    TooBad - JUST WOW!!!! It looks amazing on screen so must look insane in the metal!.. Sadly i have just took receipt of some Bilt Hamber products but shall bare this Blackfire gear in mind for the future definitely. My Vito is Cavansite dark metallic blue which frankly just looks like navy blue...

    polish, wax, sealant, glaze... I'm confused!! Help!

    Cheers lads. Have ordered some Bilt Hamber stuff to start with... With regards if i use the sealant and then wax over this, would i still use something like the G3 mitt? just to get crud off first or is that too abrasive so just do a funky wash and dry... Would one still over wax periodically...

    polish, wax, sealant, glaze... I'm confused!! Help!

    Thanks lads, I think i sort of had a bit of a clue it's just many products seem to have confusing / mixed titles. So with the new painted vehicle it would definitely be beneficial to do a seal i assume?. This paint has been on the car for over a year so should be stable - the car has only had...

    polish, wax, sealant, glaze... I'm confused!! Help!

    So many terminologies!.. Just followed a thread here about polishes - or rather i think it was waxes.. Folk mentioned the dodo juice and the bill hamber double speed wax. Then they mentioned sealing... Looked it up and it reads as a similar thing - confused. I'm assuming the "sealant" should...

    Vito Sport 119 - Gearbox remap?

    Hi there, I have a 17 plate Vito Sport 119 which comes with the auto option with paddles. In the Auto only setting I find the shifting too lazy for my requirements and wondered if anyone has had or heard of the gearbox being remapped at all? In the vans we have a button which offers 3 modes...

    Hayelp! - Father has purchased a 78 350sl unseen

    Late sixties, can't actually remember to be honest :-0. Just he's not a forum sort of chap. He has an ipad & iphone and likes surfing, just not an interactive chap. On another note he has found a specialist near where he lives and had the car in for a full fluids change and tune up as i...

    Hayelp! - Father has purchased a 78 350sl unseen

    Yes. That's his reckoning. I told to him to atleast drive one before making a decision this time. Personally i don't think he's got the money at the mo and with a busy year ahead of him he won't have time to indulge... But who knows!!
