At the moment i am using meguiars gold class liquid car wax. What is the best polish to use before i wax it, to give it a real bright shine?

white is difficult to make look as shiney as darker colours

you'd be better off making all teh black as black as can be, which will in turn make the white look whiter :D

I'm in the same boat! I've got a set of Meguiars 3 step, clay kit and wheel wash all lined up for an Easter polishing fest :)
I'll let you know how I get on....(although I don't think it'll work on the rusty bits!)

I used the meguiars gold class stage 3 polish - works well with the wax. You could also use the quick clay kit they sell as well. This gets rid of minor black specs on the paint surface and does help with the overall look.

Hope this helps!

i dont have anyminor black specs on the paint surface at all, it is all perfectly white! Apart from i gave the garage door a wee touch the otherday with the front of the car, it left a wee mark on it, the same colour as the door!

How would i go about removing it safley?

Has anyone here used the meguiars next gen car wax? I sit ok to use differnt car wax's over eachother?

cheers lads
