Heh. Try the detailing forum. I've seen recommendations for Blitz and P21S.

Default First, you need to remove the swirls. 3M makes a great product for that.

Then, pick which wax/polish you want to use.

The three most popular, and dare I say best, are -- in no particular order: Klasse, Zymol, and Zaino.

Personally, I use Zaino.

Default Love the Klasse/Pinnacle combo on my BB TT

No close up pics though as it was abused by the previous owner. But the Klasse/Pinnacle combo makes it look as good as it can. Looking forward to doing the same after a full repaint.

Default Hey Axe, What is the exact name of the 3M remover?

I want to go look for it tonight...

Also, I just clayed my car and used a paint cleaner...helped, but now I want to build up the wax.

Thanks bro!
