Hi,

Some advice really. I currently clean my car using just the supagard shampoo and conditioning solution, but really I want to give my car a good clean! I have got some polish, on the back it is saying apply it in light circles?? Before I go applying it I just want to check that this is right, I don't want to go making any swirl marks?!?

Can anyone please advise?

Cheers!

Vickie

Yeah, it's right. You don't want to go smearing it on in lines.

I have a man called Okan, he's polish and he offers a polishing service. He comes to our office and gives my car a polish polish

and a very good job he does too.

We were going to get a Czech guy, but he wanted to be paid cash in hand..........

I put mine on in vertical lines (for example on the doors) and polish off the same way. Reasoning behind this is that there won't be any swirl marks, and horizontal lines would be obvious if you crouch down and look along the length of the panel.

Just my two bobs worth
