Bought some of this in liquid form as it seems to get decent reviews.

I take it you apply it after claying but before polishing?

Want to give my car a nice clean up and hopefully i've got everything I need.

Megs gold class shampoo
Bilt hamber clay bar
G3 scratch remover
Megs ultimate polish
Collinite 476s
Renovo 3 stage for the roof
Mer glass cleaner

Thats about it, isn't it? Wheels will just be getting a quick wash and interior will be done another time.

All of this will be applied by hand as I dont have a da am I wasting my time?

I reckon you could get SOME correction by hand, but tbh you're better off trying to fill/hide scratches rather than polish out if you don't have a machine.

Your product selection seems spot on though, don't forget to clay the glass too - many people do and you can get all sorts of crud off!

Never thought of that kyle, makes so much sense aswell

Tbh my goal is just to hide the swirl marks. When I bought the car, they were obviously well hidden and I then clayed it which revealed a lot of swirling only ever polished this car once and it didn't do much in terms of hiding them.

It's a "Glaze" you're looking for rather than a polish when trying to fill/hide. Some people substitute polish for glaze in their routine, but there's no harm in going polish -> glaze -> LSP.

I used some G3 to polish up my quarter by hand after I'd flatted it back the other weekend, came up alright tbh.

I've got the scratch remover its brilliant for getting light scratchs out. I'd recommend it as it doesn't fill them in and actually gets rid

Noticed a scratch on my bonnet before along with a couple of other small ones. Decided to take pics whilst I worked the G3 magic so I could post them to show it does work just fine

Cheers brett. Got.a couple of scratches on the focus that need removing so it pays to know this stuff does actually work.

Put off doing mine for now, will do it when I have time off work next month.

Used g3 by hand on my corsa a few years back and it took a fairly decent scratch out.
