ok, so after the clay what polish should I use? is the autoglym super resin ok? I have a fair amount of swirl marks and minor scratches to hide!
SRP has been shown (on detailingworld) as a superior product when it comes to polishing by hand. Use it unless you buy a machine polisher.
I'm after an all in one polish/wax as I don't get the time to do much else.
Would anyone reccommend the poorboys polish with carnuba wax? Its in my budget but is there better for that price?
As far as I know, there's no product that polishes and waxes - they're two different things. You can get wax with fillers that mask or reduce the scratches and swirls but they're not that great. You only need to clay and polish the car a few times a year, not weekly.
For cleaning the car every week/month, you can just wash the car with a two-bucket method, and then once dried, apply the wax.
