whats the best value vs results (shine)

I use old skool "T-Cut" to restore colour and remove scratches etc..... yes there are certainly better and more modern compounds out there, but I still use it as I think it's pretty good value for money. Just don't rub too hard with it as it's quite easy to rub through to the primer beneath, if you get a little carried away! (No that's not the light reflecting off of the ridge down the centre of my minis bonnet, it's actually the grey primer showing through!! )

I then use "Auto Glym's Super Resin Polish" as a wax/polish, it's not the cheapest product on the market but it's certainly worth the extra money!!

Meguairs Gold Wash Shampoo, AG Super Resin polish, followed by AG HD Wax, leaves the perfect finish....

That's what I use most of the time. I've got some Dodo and poorboys stuff too, but this combination gives good results every time. HD wax seems to last for ages too, and Megs Gold won't strip it all off when you wash it .

Never as dirty as a mini one...

Megs shampoo
Autoglym super resin polish and glass cleaner (about the only two things i find good in their range)
Collinite 476 wax
