New GRP and paintwork restorer

I spent the day yesterday polishing the GRP on my RS and there is a lot of it. 🤦‍♂️ I used Star bright GRP marine polish, then a liberal coating of wax.

Interested in your product. How does it compare with Starbrite please?
 
Given how hard it’s to clean the over cab part of the body and the way it goes dull and powdery, no one has come up with a respray deal of putting gloss car paint on it. There is probably reason like money etc.

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.
 
I would like a pot of the new stuff please!

I bought one off eBay as recommended by a friend and yes it’s great. I was unaware you were a Funster 👍
Good luck with your new product
 
Santa Claus provided me with a new canister of Autoglym SRP and now you tell me it's 'black streaks in a bottle' :cry:
It is, it leaves a sticky residue that attracts black streaks.
Use it on a dark car.
 
I'll be up for giving it a try jezport (y)

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.

SRP does get a large percentage of black streaks off but does attract dirt. I used to love it. Also the fillers that are in it to fill defects look good for around 2 days in my opinion.
Yes a good wax is always required after a polish.

So were you waxing on top of SRP?

SRP does contain a wax, but in my opinion it is sticky. I did water beading tests with SRP on it's own and SRP with the AG surface sealer. After application both beaded the same. I would always recommend a good hard wax.
I would also recommend claying the paintwork first. My polish has clay in it so will remove surface contaminants.

I've not tried starbrite, to be honest.

I know you keep saying SRP is sticky which to be fair is the first time I have read this so I just wondered if it was the wax you were using on top that was the problem.

No definitely the SRP.
Just polish a square of SRP below a window and watch and see.

After you’ve polished it have you put a good UV wax on it
