[skylinesome]

hey all, this is prob a stupid question but what sort of polish should you use after you wash your car on a imported car, im asumming its got different paint as it is an import and just wondering if you can use any stuff.

Whats the going rate on auto glym? my ride's looking a bit dull, and whoever owned it before me buffed it with a machine and its got swirl marks all throughout the paint.

Also, would you need to get the specific colour of the car polish, or just a general polish? If it cuts into the paint, I don't think there'd be much paint left underneath...

auto glym is about 30 bucks a bottle (500mls) i think....

its pricey but u get good results.

my colour (black) was very dull.

after trying heaps, i decided to spend up and get auto glym and the car is actually a black metallic again!

i tried a specific balck car polish, it got rid of scratches, but didnt really shine the car.

i think the specific colour polishes are there just to get rid of the scratches..

what i found that worked was to use the colour polish, use that first, then use the auto glym to shine it up

have a shot at that and you should be happy

But just one question out of curiosity, how often do u people polish or wax ur cars???

[R3LOAD]

I polish mine every 2-3 months...its too big of a job to be done regularly.
