cleaned and polished

im gonna have a crack with some canubu wax if thats whats it called, can it be bought from halfords or is it special order from some backstreet sweat shop???. Should the car be waxed after that in the normal fashion??.

I find adding a layer of polish before adding the wax gives a better shine 

Now I'm confused - I've been using AutoGlym Ultra Deep Shine after a wash (this didn' make much difference to my last car which was Avus Silver TT, but world of difference on the Steel Grey golf!) and if enough time AutoGlym Extra Gloss Protection - I've always considered the first one here as polish\wax part - so what polish are you using before applying the Carnauba Wax?

Not sure if you know but R222 now do a 100% Carnauba Wax - about £10 more than concours-look, not sure if its harder to apply etc.

Anyone used Dodo-Juice products? Anygood? As you can tell I'm an AutoGlym fan but maybe its time to try something else (only recently migrated to Meguiars NXT - yep from AutoGlym Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner!)

both those autoglym products are polshs, not wax. i think the bottle said to put the extra gloss ontop, i think i did this when i got my car.
WAX is a top dressing.

not tried dodo, i tried vicotias concours the other day on a few panels and didnt see any different at all. not sure if it was a bit dodgy as i got a sample from someone... seemed runny but everyone says its not really...

Ok cheers - must read the labels in future :embarassed:  So, maybe I should drop the use of the extra gloss protection and use a wax instead (maybe R222 or something from Megs).  Means no reduction in time to complete though so will still get hassle from the bird...but car will look good    No idea about Vicotias stuff
