Try as I might nothing I do brings the car up with the sort of shine I think should be achievable.
Detailers, please help.
Just look at this hopeless effort!

Nothing that a "refine" with a finishing polish wouldn't sort. Have a search on google for Refined Reflections - Gary isn't too far from you. His mum makes some mega hand made chocolates too.......

maybe just try the supernatural on its own, or try a colour charged dodo wax

as said, you can put the worlds best wax on a poorly prepped surface and it wont look great - a properly prepped surface with no wax would look better.
Like Tim says, try cleansing the paint if you dont want to go the polishing route - Dodo's Lime Prime Lite followed by the Supernatural (and red mist if you want to).
You aren't trying to apply the wax thickly are you?

TBH thats not the best colour to get good results on.
My Silver Blue Passat is difficult too. The best results I get are using Megs Clay, Poorboys SSR1, Zymol Cleaner Wax then AG High Deffinition Wax.
As said before, it's all in the prep.
