Hi All,

Just ordered a Juwel Diamondbrite polish kit off ebay - anyone got any tips for successful application? Is it idiot proof?

Planning to take a day "working from home" and do this next week if the weather's better.

Also, I'm sure I saw a post by some guy with a black furby who put Meugiurs (sp?) polish over the top and it looked like a mirror - is this stuff that good and where do you get it from?

if its anthiny like the kit i have then its very straight forward... apply 1st bottle, apply 2nd bottle etc etc...

Stage 1 is wiped onto bodywork and left until it's dried (looks like water when you wipe it on, it dries to a haze) - in warmer weather it takes about 1/2 hour

Stage 2 is applied on top of stage 1 (DO NOT WIPE STAGE 1 OFF BEFORE YOU APPLY STAGE 2), this is like a waterery polish.

The 2 stages have to bond together, this can take another 1/2 hour (it'll take a while in this damp weather), you'll know when it's ready to buff off as it'll be dry like a normal polish.

Buff off with a clean cloth ( microfibre ones work best so you don't get smears).

The finish on dark cars is better than most waxes/ polishes (gives a deep wet look to black).

The coating is supposed to last a couple of years at least but you can wax/ polish as many times as you like without worrying about damaging the protection.

If you get the conservor in the pack (some have it some don't), this is added to a bucket of water 2-3 times a year to top up the protection.

If you get the full kit with the fabric protector (same as Scotchguard), this sprays onto the seats and stops water/ etc from marking the fabric, it make the liquids bead like wax does on the bodywork.

I've used this for many years, still have a set in the garage but haven't got around to doing this car yet, maybe in the summer

The Meguilars polish to go for is their NXT range which doesn't smear or leave any residue, much better than the Cold Glass they do.

cheers rob.

i polished it a month ago so guessing i need to take this off with something before applying the diamondbrite, or does stage 1 do that for me?

W00t!

Stage 1 does the prep job (gets rid of contaminents, etc) so the only thing that needs doing beforehand is the claybar rub on any overspray, etc although stage 1 gets most of this off

W00t!
