Default what polish/glaze and sealant

I'v been reading through polished bliss web site ,and if I understood it right
I should use a light abrasive polish or a glaze and acrylic sealant, glaze sounds good to Me hiding damage and not wearing down the clear top coat but I think i will go for a light abrasive polish .

anyway what products are recomended.
my car is cool grey colour and I will be doing the job by hand.
ruling carnauba wax out because of my car colour and It doesnt last long enough i aint putting it on by hand every month

Depends on the age of the car ie condition of the paint as to what ppls gonna tell you to use to be honest,me an a mate detailed a astra coupe a while bk werent many swirls on it to start with and were in relatively good nick to be fair-(this were done with a portercable though)car were clayed then used sonus sfx2, then sfx3, followed with einszett metallic polishwax,then einszett waxpolish soft-gave a lovely finish for silver.Einszett stuff and sonus to be fair does work ok by hand (though for swirl removal generally you`d need a pc or equivalent)

Up to the individual to an extent and how much effort you want to put in/how good you want it/how much do ya wanna spend??

If doing by hand go for Menz IP and apply the polish with a german applicator pad. It is possible to remove some swirling with this method but could result in arms like popeye

Top it off with two coats of Jetseal 109 as this particular product does well on silver\grey cars

If working by hand, reasonable defect correction can be achieved on Subaru paint with Menzerna Intensive Polish, applied using the white side of a German pad. However, as noted above, you will end up with sore arms! If the defects are very light then Menzerna Final Polish II can be used instead. After the polishing step, for a cracking finish on cool grey paint then I would look at the Jeffs Werkstatt Acrylic system. Its easy to use, long lasting and proven to give great results on lighter paints - results shown on this thread, along with more info and ideas...
