will have to look but i think i got lime prime lite so if i have i need a polish then add the wax correct or just lime prime lite then wax confused and waiting for sunday to come again so i can do it all again lol

if you have swirl marks your best bet is to get someone to get them out for you unless you have a DA polisher.

If your after a DA polisher most people get the meguiars or the Kestral.

Lots of people have different opinions on polish and pads but i would firstly try out lime prime and a finishing pad maybe a 3M finishing pad

oops more money spent

so i have decided to buy myself a Silverline random orbital sander/polisher.

also bought some menzema pads and some power finish 203S

more work for me to do next week

Have just used my Duragloss Aquawax for the first time as a Red Mist replacement.

First impressions are outstanding - goes on brilliantly and feels much more like a protective product than Red Mist. I always half wondered if I was actually doing anything when applying Red Mist, as it's spray on/wipe off. With this, you do a whole section of the car, then buff off. I can feel the layer that's put down with a quick sweep of the finger. It'll be interesting to see how it cures tonight.

It's half the price of Red Mist as well

I think the guys at Dodo will forgive me - I still use just about every other product they make. Being allergic to Red Mist is a good reason to give it up I think.

Greeny - the pro versions of the waxes contain the same solvents as Red Mist I'm told, that rules them out for me

I'm going to take the AG High Def off sooner rather than later I think - decisions decisions, Double Wax, Hard Candy and Rainforest Rub or Supernatural topped with Rainforest Rub?

Oh, and I still haven't used my BOS yet either

[greenymk7]

without a doubt SN followed with some rainforest rub or maybe even some light fantastic.

im going to be giving the car another top up of wax today which will be 5 in total then

one question i for got to ask do i have to lime prime every time i wash and wax my car or am i doing some damage to the paint...

[DanGull]

I use Lime Prime Lite every time I apply fresh wax - Lime Prime itself isn't really suitable for new paint unless you specifically need correction for swirls or similar.

[titanium_s_spec]

ok so can i just wash then apply hard wax after and its lime prime i have ..............

[DanGull]

You can - yes. The paint cleanser will improve the way the wax bonds to the surface however. I have both Lime Prime and Lime Prime Lite - that way if I need correction I can use the Lime Prime, and if I don't I can use Lime Prime Lite.
