DIY Car Washing and Polishing

[aaronng]

i bought the polish for a "deeper, shinier color" and also cos i got quite a few scratch marks here and there.... i wasnt going to use the chip stick in any case...

I'm using

1. Kitten Deluxe Car shampoo gel
2. Turtle Polish
3. Kitten Wax

i got a whole bucket of kitten stuff for xmas so i'm using that firs.t..aint rich or hardcore enough to fork out 100 bucks on meguirs or autoglym

Test out the polish on a hidden spot first. See if it dulls the clear coat. If it doesn't then it should be ok. If you can feel the scratch with your fingernail, then the only way to fix it is with a respray.

Nothing against Turtle Wax or Kitten. It's just that these brands sell rubbing compounds that are marketed as polishes. And that is a surefire way to destroy your paint. Your car shampoo and wax will be fine. Just test the polish first.

Meg's doesn't cost a hundred. just $15-20 per bottle/tube. Just don't buy 5 of them

The most important thing is to ensure that whatever you are using does not damage your paint. Because once the clearcoat is compromised, you'll be looking at at least $700 to respray.
