Which polish to use before Ceramic Coating?

[ColinBloom]

I have found plenty of info on the Net about how to do DIY ceramic coating, apart from one thing. I know I need to use a polish that contains no filler or wax during prep. I normally use Autoglym SRP which does contain these things. Searching the net for "non filler polish" just brings up stuff about polish WITH fillers. My question is who makes a filler and wax free polish that is easy to get hold of in the UK? Thanks

I just use whatever my favourite polish is and then clear off all trace with it with an IPA spray (I use 50% alcohol, 50% water)

If I thought there was an excess of previous product I have lime prime (dodo) or Angelwax Perfect Polish Pre Wax Paint Cleanser. Both work well

I think youre getting confused.

Prior to using a ceramic coat you might want to use a cutting compound to restore the paintwork, but then you clean it down (with ipa or other specialized products to ensure a perfect bond) and apply the ceramic to the clearcoat directly.

Gtechniq P1 has zero fillers and works well.

Being Polish myself I'd say use one that takes minimum wage plenty about
