Definately try claying your car if you've never done it before. It's pretty easy and will make a big difference in getting that 'glass like' finish.
Look at the sticky at the top of the detailing page it tells you all you need to know.
You also might want to ditch the Turtle Wax polish and try something better.

agree 100% ditch the turtle wax its great for ya everyday person but you wanna try something like dodo juice, collinite, chemical guys etc have a look on waxamomo,s site :wink:

golf stu took the words out my mouth:) just to add to it, collinite will give a good shine and maximum durabilty, dodjuice will give you the dripping wet look your after if you get all the before stages executed correctly.

Thanks for the help. The colour of my car is morano red i think. it is a pearl red paint that look dark red/burgandy to red and pinkish sorta colour in the right light. its not a custom paint. what dodo juice product do i want to use as a polish to really make it come alive . and what dodo juice wax would be the best to give me that luxurious dripping shine??
thanks

waxamomo you get a fiver discount on your first order if you enter gimme5 at the checkout iirc

Yep use gimme5 for £5 off :wink:
As Dan has already said, Dodo Lime Prime Lite will give you a great shine, then seal it is with a quality wax. I personally prefer Orange Crush over Banana Armour, but each to their own. I just prefer a soft wax.
