You can't go wrong with the Werkstatt Carnauba suite of products

Steve 70 is best the one to ask

Thanks Paul S4!!

RS4 lol

RS4 Sorry

You have to give the Blackfire ''Gloss enhancing polish'' a go as a base the top off with Blackfire ''All finish paint protection''.
I used this quickly on a couple of panels 3 weeks ago and the car is still beading and also left a fantastic wet look finish

Thanks Guys

PM sent BTW

Yes, can't really argue with Jeffs Carnuba, I use the Acrllyic/ Carnuba in nearly all my details now.

Also can't argue with Balckfire and also swear by those, the GEP is great stuff and much prefer to Lime Prime.

Several options here I guess.

For all-round ability, ease of use and superb results against efforst put in then there is not a lot that touches AG SRP - AutoGlym Super Resin Polish and then leave it at that and top with a Colinite, such as 845 (for ease of use) or AG High Def wax or even SRP->AG EGP - AG HD Wax.

Personally I would go Jeffs Carnuba System or SRP -> Colinite 845.

SRP will be better at removing slight swirls and any oxidisation as contains some fine abrasives and you dont need a DA to get great results, you can easily achieve correction by hand. Then top with Colinite for some great durability.

Jeffs has a superb paint cleaner in the 'Prime' product and although will tackle some swirls, it will do this more by filling as its strength is the chemical cleaning, far more than SRP. Bu that is where you get trade off between an 'AIO' and dedicated steps products.

Jeffs (and Blackfire) have great ability to make the pearl and flake pop (take a look at DannyRS4, I did) and then if you top that with Colinite, you have superb looks and durability.

Here are a couple of my Colt Ralliart I had with Jeffs Carnuba, I tried the SRP route but I opted for the Jeffs as it was new paint and so didnt want any abrasives and just chemical cleaning.

I think if you need a bit of bite and want to nip a bit of the clearcoat off to remove any oxidisation, swirls etc then go with SRP and top with your wax/ sealant of choice ....or the whole hog of sealant and wax... My pref would be Colinite 845 as its a sealant/ wax hybrid (EGP then HD wax also good choice). Finish Kare FK100P is also worthy of note as a great sealant and gives very glassy, reflective looks.

If you dont need any paint correction and not looking for any abbrasives, then something like the Jeffs Carnuba system would get my vote.

Its a tough call on Blackfire vs Jeffs. I rate both highly, but for me the cost is hard to swallow for Blackfire, for pretty much the same results.

This is Jeffs Wekstatt Carnuba System, it almost makes it look like dipped in wet paint, or a toy car, its so intense and glossy and reflective

Cheers Steve, Great write up!!

Thanks

No Problem.

Just thought would add that 'Best' is often subjective, depending on whether you will be polishing by hand or with a Machine, and what condition the paint is in, whether you wish to correct the paint and remove the swirls, or just hide and mask them, the results you are expecting, ease of use, durability etc, Sometimes what is 'Best' for one things is not 'best' for another.

IMO, the above are what I consider the 'best' in their own areas, there are lots of other products of course, these are just my preferred choices given this scenario.
