wax my car with a colored wax or a non colored wax
My car is Red (flash red - I think) ... Now the weather is getting better i want to give it a bit of TLC but need some polish ...
Any advice?

Makes no difference at all. What waxes are you thinking of using?

No idea at all Im a sucker for pretty packaging so whatever looks nice and has the best sales pitch lol any recommendations?

Natty's Blue,
Harly Wax,
Meguiars #16.

i've just started using that stuff and it seems pretty good so far. Plus after you've finished waxing your car, your hands smell of coconuts!

I would totally recommend Zymol over Meguiars (sorry Meguiars fans). However, there is the normal Zymol wax which comes in a green bottle thats about £15 but I wouldn't go for that.

If you want the proper stuff you need to go onto the website and get the Creme or Carbon wax which is about £40. I know its expensive but it lasts ages and you only use it sparingly so 1 tub could last you for years to come.

If you want to splash out and treat your car, I highly recommend it. I used it once and will never go back to anything else.

try t-cut first if it's really faded, real carnuba wax gives a nice shine on a straight colour but paint cannot be oxidised cos it has no cutting effect. for a really nice shine: t-cut, then use a regular runny polish, then use i pure carnuba wax buffing between different applications!

Steer clear of T-Cut if you have any love for your car's paint work. Meguiars 3 Step System is better than T-Cut by miles.....

T-Cut is too harsh, use Farecla G3 if you need a cutting compound

the Menzerna range is also very good on VW paint.
