can i ask which cleaning product out of ur list would get swirl marks out? i've noticed mines starting to get them.....

There are no cleaning products that will really remove swirls without some serious elbow grease. However, you can mask them slightly by hand. Use Autoglym SRP as your first step, then use a glaze afterwards. Then top up with a decent wax/sealant.

To remove them properly, you will need to have the car machine polished. I had my car done recently by Detail My Ride. My car had lived at a dealership for its first 6 months, and they had ruined the paint. But it now looks great again after a 1 day enhancement detail. You will then need to maintain good washing processes to keep it swirl free. This means no car washes or cheap sponges and the 2 bucket method.

ahh i see, i always only ever wash my car... don't do the two bucket method... maybe i should save my pennies and have her detailed...

Also couldn't help notice u saying your monza might be up for sale soon do you know roughly how much u want for them?

Two bucket method is the only way to go in my opinion. Sponges are a big no no as are chamois, use a microfiber towel.

Does anyone with a white Polo notice any streaking after washing?

yeah i have them microfibre towels...

I dont want to ruin Bentleys thread, so they will be advertised when they are available. Good work Bentley. Car looks sweet.

Alright bud,
Firstly awesome looking car so far can't wait for more developments! Secondly how much would you say you are lowered by in mm at the minute? I'm after a set of fk coilovers and I like the stance your currently at!
Cheers Dan
