It gives good results on the Silver V40, Sky Blue C70 and Chilli Red Mini Cooper. All hand applied.

I'm not a fanatical car polisher, but do like a clean looking car and many folks comment on how clean my cars look, which is nice. I use the above regime once a year, with weekly washing in between for the V40 and Cooper.

ebay is your friend for purchase of the polishes etc.
Hi there thanks for advice I’m going to buy Poorboys white diamond from amazon it’s roughly £13
Can I just use foam round applicator sponges to apply or is cloth better .one apples and buffed off by hand can I wax it

White diamond is for white/silver cars
Dark colour cars would use black hole??.


Regards

Yes, use a little foam applicator sponge to apply and a microfibre cloth to buff off. I always wet the sponge with warm water and squeeze the excess out before using, so it is just damp.

The White Diamond will leave the paint super silky smooth and ready for the application of a protective wax. Yes, White Diamond is the light coloured car equivalent of Black Hole Glaze.

If doing a bonnet, do one side and polish and compare it to the untouched side. There will be a huge difference.

Where do you buy this product ..all I want to do is remove fine swirls from my white car

You can buy it on Amazon or Ebay.
I've ordered it poor boys white diamond on Friday

I used maguairs quick detailing today I wasn't sure what to expect washed dried off the car then used it ,,,it's clear liquid it's says it can take 12hours with the polymer to act ?

I did the door black shine plastic covers also with compound then ultimate polish loads better but still not 100%
