As you enjoy spending time on the car (as i do), this opens up the possibility for the best possible finish, as you'll be able to complete more stages.

First, use a decent quality washing system - there's no point falling at the first hurdle. Poorboy's Super Slick and Suds is easily the best wash i've tried - out performing well known items like AG wash and Meg's Gold Class with ease. It has loads of lubricant to protect the paintwork, and leaves an excellent finish.

Next, if it's not been done, the car must be clayed. This will enable all the following products to work better, as they'll be bonding to a cleaner, purer surface. Meg's Quik Clay is good for this if you have it, or the Poorboy's clay is excellent as it's slightly stronger.

Next up is polish - ClearKote Vanilla Moose Glaze (not a glaze as the name suggests but a polish) will achieve a great finish, with mild defect correctional abilities (about the best you'll achieve by hand).

This should then be glazed, with ClearKote Red Moose Glaze to richen the shine, and to help mask any remaining defects.

This will then need to be sealed in. Here, you have a choice of Poorboy's EX or EX-P depending on the type of finish you wish to achieve on the car.

This should be topped with Poorboy's Natty's Blue finishing wax, for an ultimate finish

If you want to know anymore mate, or want help obtaining any products, just give me a shout
