Mate, use Megs Scratch X, then a decent polish and seal. SRP is a great polish and far better than a lot of the expensive trendy stuff that is made with the first blob of bees pre cum on a cool spring morning selling for hundreds of pounds a small tub etc etc . As an ex detailer I always had SRP in my van, but happily used bees pre if the client was happy to believe in it and pay for it Then as you have learnt don't use trendy ideas for cleaning, they don't work and cause clearcoat issues. It amazes me the amount of new cars I see being washed at my local Sainos with a tiny bucket of liquid and the same dirty rag all over, bodywork and wheels in the time it takes to fill a shopping trolley, the damaging chemicals they are using is unreal.
Yep, amazes me also. Family Vauxhall returns from weekend camping trip, car is washed, wheels last of course, and then the next car is 2018 Mercedes and the sponge is straight onto the roof and bonnet. Agree. I've never used solutions, only a very damp sponge cloth and then dry with soft paper towel. No scratches or whirls, but then I'd perhaps not notice because as well a being only a dry-weather rider, I'm also only a day time rider, so no headlights to show up any screen deformities.
SPONGE Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! Last person I saw use a sponge on a car was me Dad in the mid 90s I think
I use G3 stuff by Farecla. Their super resin polish and scratch remover stuff is pretty good. I also use a Meguairs paint sealant and high gloss on certain parts of the bike.
Yes my friend, it’s designed to remove all the damage we put in when cleaning a vehicle. Easy tip to stop swirls, don’t clean in circles, it’s that simple, now marring, that’s a whole new discussion
Very rarely, I hope. I used it recently after respraying a belly pan (stonechipped). I would say T-Cut and similar true cutting agents might be a bit severe for removing swirls. It could even exacerbate (sorry, make worse) the problem. Wouldn't use it on @keithg1748 's SP for sure.
