What is the Best polish for a White Evo?

[Mickyyy]

I have a scotia white Evo 6 and wondered what the best polish to use on it would be. I have tried original tcut on a slight rub mark that I had on the bumper and that bit came out whiter than the rest of the car but tcut took some of the white paint off on the rag.

What is the best polish to use on a white Evo? One that won't remove the paint but make it the proper white colour that it should be?

Any tries and tested suggestions?

It has been standing a few months.

Thanks.

Poorboys is worth a look mate, I use them on my MR
They do stuff for light coloured cars and it's nice stuff to use

The first thing I would do is use Autoglym paint renovator
Paint Renovator 1 Litre
I've used it on a lot of cars including other peoples cars that have had a life of drive in car washes and had good results.
I used it on my 5, DC2 and recently a white Renault Traffic and really buffs up dull paint to give you a good starting point.
After that, lately I've been using Poorboys white diamond glaze, Poorboys EX-P sealant and Meguires NXT Wax.

Poorboys EX-P Sealant - Clean Your Car
Buy Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax 2.0 from Meguiar's UK
White comes up really well with all that
All links are just examples of what I mean, I'm feeling too lazy/rough just now so your best to have a search for a better price if you are interested

I forgot, between sealing and waxing I use Dodo juice lime prime

Meguiars 3 step is good, paint cleaner - polish- wax, worked wonders on my 4 tho it is sliver, or dodo light fantastic meant to be good

You won't get it back to white without removing the oxidised paint though

there is a poor boys white glaze! that works a treat

Poor Boys White Glaze is good.

I personally wash and then mop the car with light G3 followed up with a quick wash and then Auto Gleam to buff.

White, when clean, is the best colour IMO.

I'll be trying some of that on mine then El, Do they sell it in bulk as I reckon I'll end up with tennis elbow trying to keep my white 6 gleaming! Lol

It can be purchased in single units and I have seen it better priced than here:

If you mop the car first with a lot of water and g3, you will have a great base to build on.

If done properly and then washed and waxed, as long as you give it regular wash and dry sessions with a bit of liquid wax, the car will always look good and shrug off grime easily.

There is a top tip to avoid tennis elbow, I utilise it all the time, what you do is get a mate roped into it, preferably one who is known for being a grafter :razz: :whistling: :whistling: :whistling:

Here's some top tips from back in the day, look out for Hunty's posts in particular:
