guys could someone just put me in the right direction, i have used
blackfire gloss enhancing polish and the blackfire all finish protection
but i can still see a few scratches and swirls so i bought
menzerna intensive polish and this has removed 90% of the marks and im well happy so my questions are after the
menzerna polish do i use the blackfire gloss enhancing polish or go straight the blackfire all finish paint protection? do i need to wax as well?
and also what pads and towels do i use for best results, everything is done by hand
many thanks to all that advise on this :thumb:

loads of options, depends on how much time you have/level of finish you want and £ you want to spend.

for me to get the best possible finish it would be

BF gloss polish >> BF all finish protection >> BF midnight sun wax.

As above but for me its

menzerna intensive polish / menzerna final polish 2 (adds more gloss) then BF gloss polish >> BF all finish protection x 2 coats >> BF midnight sun wax x 2 coats = :cool:

lol thats pretty much what I used this weekend on mine, all bar the Menz final polish !
Finish is good but like you it still has a few noticable (well to me any way) swirls / scratches on

I use a PC when correcting so its almost 100% correction the key to a good shine is in the preparation the LSP does almost rock all IMO

I wouldnt like to do it by hand as no doubt it will fall off :lol1:

If you've achieved 90% after the IP do follow up with the GEP as it will help to hide the remaining defects. You don't need the wax as well, but it does add a lot of wetness and gloss to the overall finish, so is well worth it in my opinion if a dripping wet look is what you desire most. Pads and towels; the white side of a german Pad is best for the IP application, the red side os best for the sealant/wax application. Poorboys Super Thick & Plush Towels are best for getting the IP off, while Poorboys Deluxe Mega Towels are great for taking the sealant/wax off. :thumb:

... or you can use them dry; all are well lubricated enough not to need QD if you don't want to use it. As for drying towels, Poorboy's Waffle Weaves get my vote. :thumb:
