Knowing I was going to be in for a quiet Tuesday working from home and the weather was looking good, at the weekend I started looking for a new polish & wax with the intention of giving the car a good wash. Ended up ordering Bilt Hamber - Cleanser Polish and Double Speed Wax.
Now, I am not an expert in cleaning and do not for one minute pretend to be close to detailing but I do like my car to look clean & tidy.
Started off with Autoglym Shampoo, then used the Cleanser Polish and finished off with the DS Wax. I think the car looks pretty good, would recommended the polish, it was very easy to apply, buff off and it gave a very nice smooth, glossy finish. It also took out some minor swirls and light scratches, this was one of the selling points / recommendations before buying and I have to say it worked well. The DS wax was a bit harder to apply & buff off, will have to wait and see how durable the wax is.
Has anyone else used these products, if so what is your opinion?, are they good or should I be using something else next time?
Anyway, here are a couple of pics;
A good wash & polish
That looks great, well done for the effort.
We only ever manage to wash and then just use the Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer when drying off which gives the paint a bit of a shine.
Macan is just such a big car for a polish & wax, never seem to have the time and energy.
P.S. you need some tyre dressing too, that finishes the whole clean car look perfectly.

Looks good indeed. I keep meaning to wash and polish but the inclination fades after a quick skite with a power washer.

Did you polish your roof rails? Mine went a peculiar mottled blue colour. I mentioned it at service recently and they polished them with something to make them black again. We will see if it lasts.

You need to hustle a day out courtesy of your OPC, making sure they give you a full clean and valet whilst they have your car.

Looks great.... forensic detailing recommends DSW, iv used it not to the easiest to remove , you could try a different micro cloth to make it easier to remove, and spread it very lightly .

Thanks for the comments.
Tom 2000 - Yes I did polish the rails and they stayed black, well at least they were when I looked last....
Semerka - Yes need to do the tyres, thought that when I stood back and looked but don’t have any in the garage...
Also need to get some 303 spray, recommended on another thread to clean up the side blades & trim.......one for the weekend.
