Its bodyshop stuff but is the shizzle. Leaves a lovely shine and doesn't wash off in the rain!

I'll save my 'technique' details though!

best ive used is my zymol very expensive and u apply by hand hard work but worth it. collnite marquee d,elegance is good the auto glym ultra not bad at the lower end of the market price wise.

One panel at a time. I use a cloth to apply and another to polish. Lots of elbow grease and some serious rubbing involved. But its all worth it in the end.

Check IJ at Ace in Miniworld and you shall see a picture of my technique!!

Zymol is good but WAY overpriced. Autoglym finishing glaze, turtle wax platinum gloss and Autosmart mirror image. The best I've EVER used is Rubbish boys original edition carnauba wax which is awesome stuff, problem is, it's nearly £40 a pot!. I'm a valeter and my tips when polishing are to use a microfibre to apply the wax and a nice clean microfibre to take it off. Apply it thinly and sparingly, don't lamp it on as it's a waste and takes too much effort.

Poorboys and Jeffs Waxstatt are supposed to be the daddys amoung the "detailing" crowd.
