Hi Everyone,

Easy question but will probably have lots of different answers 🤔 what do you recommend and indeed use to polish your westfields?

Cheers.

I use Fusso coat soft 99 on all my cars. Never seen anything repel water like this stuff, I am off the opinion that it’s better than ceramic as there is no streaking if you don’t dry it off totally.

I've been using nano polish for a while now.  So easy to use and a great finish

The detailers amongst us will probably be throwing their phones at the wall at this moment 😂 but, if you want a cheap, quick and easy way if getting a shine (or to use in between waxes) then the Carplan No1 Super Gloss works surprisingly well.

 

Loads of other spray on "paint sealant" types about (I've tried plenty) that work well too but No1 is normally the cheapest and compares well.

I am no detailer but this is what i did this year

 

It does not say how you are polishing but i got a cheap DA for XMAS https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hyundai-Polisher-Variable-1500-4500rpm-Polishing/dp/B09SV2R1Q6/ref=asc_df_B09SV2R1Q6/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=570334618003&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10150476833655681978&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006567&hvtargid=pla-1639964677321&psc=1&mcid=d173ac3fd56e32b59161f103a95f2e19&th=1&psc=1

you get all the pads with it. there is a video on you tube that covers how to use it.

 

Based on reviews I used the turtle wax products its called hybrid one and done it cuts and finishes at the same time they do really good deals on their website. I got better at using it the more i got further down the car   

I then used their spray on flex wax again easy to use and spry it on wipe off. should last 6 months but you can spray it on when drying a washed car to top it up. 

 

Happy with the results the car looked the best it has for years. I got out all the swirls. Deeper scratches would need more attention but i was not going to spend ages on it.  And any excuse to post a picture ha

A few years ago the wife sent me to the supermarket for some Brasso.

 

I went into Tesco's and saw a sign above an aisle saying 'Polish'.

 

'Great,' I thought, 'a whole section of the supermarket devoted to my needs.'

 

Unfortunately not ...
