    Polish Recommendations ??

    Does anyone have any recommendations for polish/wax.... I have always been an "old skool" meguiar's fanatic but jsut wondering what else is out there that is good.

    A couple of boys at work rave about the new turtle ICE, but I haven't tried it yet

    The turtle wax ice paste is awesome - gives a good gloss - smells like bubblegum too Click here to enlarge

    Megs NXT 2.0 is still my fave wax.

    ive used to turtle wax ice liquid polish on my car. to be honest i thought it was gonna be a dud. but it gives a mad shine. i use it once every 4 weeks. and i park my car outside. its easy to use, can be applied in sun light or shade. personally i like to apply in shade cause i can see where ive missed. but yeh give it a try. i have the liquid clay bar system but i havent had time to try it yet. well see how that goes though

    Megs or Autoglym.
    Failing that there are plenty of high end polishes if your wallet is deep !

    I found zymol wax to be the best but it's alot of work because you have to polish the car with HD Cleanse first then with the wax.

    Most of the time I'm to lazy to do that and just use the meg's NXT but the finish is not as good as the zymol

    Thanks for the feedback guys.
    How many of you still do it by hand vs buffer ? I have seen some really nasty buff jobs before which has always made me hesitant to try one on my cars...especially a black one.

    i have both. but i prefer hand. i guess it comes down to preference. ive seen a professional use a buffer on an xy gt and get amazing results. i use my hand because it feels like thorough job and that im not missing any spots.
