I am new to this and would need some advice...
Thinking of using Poorboys Black Hole glaze and then finish of with Nattys Red?
Will this work on my 07 Tornado Red?
Anybody tried this combo?

- Autoglym Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner
- Autoglym SRP
- Megs NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 paste
Well... Must say it did not make much difference to how car looked after I used Turtle wax spray for £3.99 lol
What went wrong? Hmmm

Personally I'd try a sealant if I was you. I think they give way better resultsI've thought that waxes suit our paint better and give this wet look... that I was after?

If you go through my post I think there should be some pictures of my car after I machine polished it and applied 2 layers of sealant to protect it. Let me know your opinion but I used to use wax's and glazes but sealants have defo gave my car more of a wet look imo

Autoglym SRP followed by Autoglym HD Wax always gives me good results (Tornado Red). SRP can get a bit chalky, although the wax is excellent. I'm yet to get into the machine polishing game, so for now it's all by hand. Can I achieve better results with different products?

So what's the difference between a sealant and a wax then? I always saw wax as a sealant - protecting the finish you attain with a polish?

To be honest when your doing anything by hand so most you'll be able to is mask defects or fill in swirl marks making them look better than they are. I'd take the plunge into machine polishing sooner rather than later. You won't regret it trust me.
Here's an article that explains the difference between the two, I hope you find it helpful :smiley :http://www.autogeek.net/qude101.html and this one http://www.autofinesse.co.uk/waxpaintsealant-coating-whats-the-difference/

Cheers mate, I'll give that a read. It's not something I'm consciously avoiding - I know I'd get much better results with a machine polisher - more that I've never really got round to the point where I can put money into it. I tend to find with any project I've always got parts to uprate, repair or renew before I look at perfecting things!So what's the difference between a sealant and a wax then?

I bet most people couldn't tell the difference if a panel was done with turtle wax or a more expensive product.
I enjoy a clean car but its bordering on ridiculous all the different products on offer!
