Polishing - how frequently?

tonyt · 4th May 2007, 18:19

I wash the car every week, it has been SuperGuarded. How often do you polish yours? Would you stick with the SuperGuard polish or switch to Maguires?
Cheers!

I used Diamond brite, possibly the same sort of treatment.

I was quite happy going by 'the book'

But decided to use the Turle Wax stuff instead.

Millie now makes the sun dull by comparison.

If you wan that extraa shine, I'm sorry but it needs alittle extra work.

I wash it weekly and polish/wax it about once a month with Meguiars NXT tech wax, just because it is really easy to apply and buff out. Makes it look extra shiny as a bonus!

Millie usually gets washed after most showers of rain!

Bit compulsive there I know, but it makes Millie look a little prettier.

Usually just some wash 'n' wax stuff.

Main product in use has been Turtle Wax 'Nano'.

Very happy with the results but to be honest, I got I think, just a good job done by Tesco Wash 'n' Wax stuff - and that's a bit cheaper also.

Then when any polish is to be buffed I have found that any micro fibre cloth can't be beaten, Tesco's again.

Wash it when dirty, wax it once a year, just before Winter. This is what I do, not what I would reccommend.

Why is that then?

Do you think that you are over doing it some how?
