So that auto glym sr is not very good then, What polish do you reccommend, Cause i was under the influence auto glym was a great polish, And which wax, cause i am gonna get me some this weekend an give it a good seein too,

any of the dodojuice range will please you :grin: though a little pricey but well worth the dosh.
collinite 476's or 845 will give you protection
or if you have megabucks you could splash out on some swissvax.

For a polish try Poorboys http://www.poorboysworld.com/poorboys-polish.htmor Clearkote Red Moose http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/glazes/clearkote-red-moose-glaze/prod_118.html. AG SR is slighty abbrasive and contains filler which mask the swirls. It has it's uses but like T-Cut hasn't really been improved over the years.

Actually your being a bit optomistic, all the damage to the paintwork has been done (by TCut and Poundland cloths) so you really need to start from fresh, you need it machine polished to remove swirls and other defects and then wax or seal ontop.

SRP is good at masking swirls but it wont remove them (hardly) and it'll also wash off as its not a sealant or wax. Ive got dodo juice purple haze but would opt for zaino all day long. Much much much glossier, lasts longer and is easier to handle.

dontt bin it.  AG SRP is good to have on hand for some jobs.  As said before it's good a filling swirls rather than removing them, but top it with a good sealant then wax and it will look good for months.

Not as mad as snow foaming a car in the street like I do!!

Invest in a decent dry weave and MF cloths along with a good polish and wax.
