Do I use polish or wax after claying ?

[SH4RKY]

Guess a similar question to OP...

I found some old Mer Ultimate polish in the garage so decided to give that a go after giving the car a clean yesterday. Seemed to reduced marks and surface scratches very nicely. I didnt bother use any wax after though as from the description on the bottle it seem liked it was sort of a wax anyway. claims to protect and whatnot. Mer dont seem to have any wax on the web site too, just the polish...

hmm... Guess it wouldnt have hurt to put some merguirs gold on top... but to be honest i had spent the best part of 5 hours cleaning the thing so applying another layer and buffing off wasnt high on my priority list! haha

Still havent clayed... but found that light pressure with a finger nail while polishing removed most noticeable stuck on debris.

Mer gives ok results, mine had been Mer'd for my first Brooklands meet, last year, clayed, cleaned, polished and waxed - results were far superior but did take a day or two longer
