New GRP and paintwork restorer (2 Viewers)

[CazPaul]

I have Jez's old restorer & some Starbright it's better than the Starbright, looking forward to the new one. The only one I've found better is the 3M but that is no longer imported to the UK.

Star Brite do loads of different products, you can’t compared a restorer to a polish so I’m not sure exactly which star Brite product you are comparing with.
star Brite also do restorers with different cutting levels in them. The polish they do also comes in different variances, I have the tub of marine softened polish and a few of the bottles with ptfe.

Star Brite are excellent products, I still have most of a bottle of Jez’s original restorer from years ago, it’s ok but star Brite restorer is much better depending on what strength compound you order. I used the medium.

A medium cutting compound isnt finishing product, it will cut through surfaces fast. I am researching a medium and course product to add to my range, But these products can damage surfaces if over used. Our new polish is far superior to the old one.

Would it restore this? Just noticed as the sun had arrived yesterday and was shocked how bad this was for a 2017 model, used cutting, polish and wax with DA machine but still have front cap to do,
(Edit) This was the rear cap before doing the above

I’d love to try it,,give me a nod when you have stock

 

[jongood]

I need to get

I have used loads of SRP over the years and think it does a great job cleaning up dirty grubby areas and especially black streaks, I have never thought that it made them worse.

I will nick some of this stuff off jongood and give it a go but I assume it needs a wax after you have finished polishing.

Some first jezport ? How do I go about getting it please?

I suppose you will want to borrow "the polisher" as well Martin

Yes I was just wondering which of the many star Brite products Lenny was comparing it with.

Having worked in the valeting / detailing business the most common way people cause damage to their vehicle while detailing it themselves is using the wrong product or using it incorrectly.
The polish I sell is very safe to use and wont damage surfaces if used sensibly. I have tested it on scratches, swirl marks, black streaks, paint on paint etc and it works as well as a fine polish will work. Even on scratches which require a course polish it will gradually reduce the defect down without suddenly going through the surface. I am working on deeper cutting polishes and hopefully they should be out during spring.
But these deeper cutting polishes have to be used with extreme care!

Its impossible to say without seeing it in real life, but I would say that it should do, but may need machine polishing for a faster and better finish.

Would it be possible to explain best practise for using this product, or a link to a vid or similar to show correct use.

Best Practice

Always wash the vehicle thoroughly and dry.

How To (Hand Application)
Apply 2-5 pea sized amounts of polish to a clean, microfibre or a foam applicator pad.
Using light pressure; spread the compound onto the vehicles paintwork, working in small areas (50cm x 50cm) using an up & down and left & right lattice pattern for optimal coverage.
Allow the polish to dry to a haze.
Buff off with a clean microfibre cloth.

How To (Machine Application)
Apply 2-5 pea sized amounts of polish to a light foam polishing pad.
Using light pressure and the lowest speed setting, spread the polish onto the vehicles paintwork.
Work in small areas (50cm x 50cm) using an overlapping up & down and left & right lattice pattern for optimal coverage.
Increase the speed setting to a maximum of 1000RPM and continue to work the polish into the paintwork until the polish becomes clear.
Allow the polish to dry to a haze.
Buff off with a clean microfibre cloth

Top Tip
Make sure you are working out of direct sunlight whenever you are using a polish or compound, and check that your vehicle is cool to the touch prior to application. Make sure any wind is not blowing dust or contaminants onto the paintwork.

[Silviffer]

Yes please Jez I would love to give it a go.
Like most I always struggle to keep the area above the windscreen (A Class) looking good. Would this be a good prep in that area before waxing ? I’ve already purchased some Collonite to try as a topcoat.

Mark.

Yes, ideal prior to colinite.
For particularly bad areas, the corser medium grade would bring it up.

 

[Silviffer]

Fortunately it’s not really bad at the moment and I would be cautious about using anything too abrasive. I have a D/A machine and would use that to apply it making life a little easier.
Happy to try the ordinary polish first please.

Mark

Thanks. Was it as good as you hoped?

[Winger]

Yes. I’d just changed vans and the one I bought was dull as dish water. I’d say it hadn’t been touched in 10 yrs.
This stuff quickly removed the build up of grim and dull paint.
I’d recommend although unsure how it would work on an already shiny van

 

[Nanniemate]

I understand.

What is it, where is it available from and £??
Please

Will it do anything for the fiat flake

 

[Phill D]

Will it do anything for the fiat flake

sadly nope, that needs a full prep and paint, then polish etc.

That is the new one, it's got "new formula" on the bottle & it's green. The original is cream coloured.

The new one is slightly more abrasive and works well.

 

[Shandyman]

I have tried it and was very impressed with the outcome would recommend giving it a go.

Jez / Anyone - do you have any pics of before - after ?

Would be great to see some results, so I can compare before buying.

Jez - Assume you recommend applying wax, after the restorer has been applied ?

Thanks
