Want to try new products with my DA

[Adam-f]

Hello guys,

After I've decided to keep the Teg now its due a very very good clean lol,

I've got myself a Meguires Gv220 DA and to be honest I'm a newbie on the DA front lol I used it a few times on older cars to get the hang of it but only once on the Teg,,

I'm just looking for some advice on which products to use since I fancy a change from the last time and all my products are running low now,

My DC5 is champ White

What I normally use :

The normal, Wash, tar remover, clay, rewash, dry, then I normally

• Meguires Ultimate Compound
• Mezenma Power Finish
• Poorboys Diamond White glaze
• Dodo Juice Diamond White wax

I was happy with the results the last time but I wasn't sure if I was doing things correctly ? or in the correct order ?

Which other products are available I could try out ?

Also which are the best pads to use with the Gv220 ? last time I used some super soft ones from Halfords ?

I found ultimate compound to be fantastic to bring the champ white back white instead of brown lol

What other wax's are available ? I've got half a tub of Auto Glym HD wax which I use to use on my old Audi A3, anyone used tis on Champ white ?

What are the best sealants to use ? I've been considering to try one instead of the wax,

Sorry for all the questions lol any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

What you do is actually pretty good. You could swap out the ultimate compound for a harder cutting menzerna. But if you've already done this process once on the car then I suggest you just give the paint a good clean (clay, detar) and then hit it with a final finish polish. You don't want to be removing too much paint.

Autoglym HD wax is good, so if you have it just use it. Have a look at werkstatt acrylic gloss - amazing for white paint.

Jet seal 109 is a brilliant sealent, not the cheapest but it does last ages, the shine has a real depth aswell and it's so easy to apply/ buff off

Another vote for Jetseal 109

Its not that costly given a decent wax will cost double and won't last as long.

Try autofinesse Tough coat for your sealant choice, take approx 15-20 mins to do the entire car, lasts up to 6 months and gives amazing water beading

two sizes avaiable 250ml and 500ml, check the link. hope this helps.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

I think I'm going to do what I did last time but try the Autoglym HD wax since I already have half a tub if this,

Anyone suggest a good glass polish kit ? I've got some bad water marks on my windows which won't polish out with normal Autoglym glass polish, need somthing more abrasive,
