Cheers bud , yeah I was waiting for the "too much black" comment but I had the white speedlines for 12 months and I fancied a change

.

I think when I get the coloured porsche centers they will look better and break it up a bit

Yeah I know what you mean Nath, but I cba spending money all the time just trying different polishes and waxes ect...

I'm gonna clean it today and takes some pics. I use the poorboys polish with carnauba wax in it atm and some sort of megs wax. Maybe I just don't try hard enough or my technique is wrong :/

Compared to Nath's it may aswell be caked in mud even when I've just cleaned it.

Chris technique definately does play a big role in the finish you get from each product imo . But you shouldnt have to much trouble getting more shine out of it , do you use any glaze at all ?

Adam

thanks buddy

The caps aren't black but can do that for free if you want. Being a painter helps. I'll try find them tonight. Think there in my tool box somewhere.

So glaze is different to polish and shit?

What one would you recommend?

Graeme not to worry mate i think ive found some going cheep and there already black

. Thanks for the offer though

Chris , Yeah glaze is a different product all together . I personally hardly ever "Polish" my car i usually Glaze and Wax . Glaze is filled with shit loads of fillers basically wich fill in minor imperfections and swirls , if you layer it , it works even better as it fills more imperfections every time

. But you have to wax on top of it as it will wash off within a few days/weeks .

I use poorboys black hole glaze and dodo juice purple haze wax but there for dark cars . I think maybe you would benefit more from Auto Finesse Tripple . As that is an all in one product (Polish,Glaze,Wax) ! But again if you wax with different wax on top of it you will see it last a lot longer ! Get yourself on Detailingworld and just have a browse threw there . Pretty useful tbh

. Hope this helps
