Oh dear double t cut  :sad: it's rubbish and harmful to your paint throw it in the bin. Guy will be along shortly I'm sure. It's a long process but enjoyable and addictive, I'll let the experts tell you as I'm still learning. But just a heads up on the t-cut  :lipsrsealed:

polishes are only as good as the person using it, you need to think about getting a DA polisher with various pads and a combination of different grade compounds to acheive the results you want. its all about technique.

Yes, shining and well polished cars sure attract glances of admiration your way and as said earlier it really depends on the effort you put in, to get that extra shine coming your way!! I am sure there are other tips that will be helpful which you can get from someone in the forum as I too don't do much polishing myself but wouldn't mind knowing more of the subject for information sake - you never know when it will come in handy!!
