I use the poor boys stuff, and a DA, the DA is a great buy, very safe, you wont mess up.

I use the Blackhole and nattys past wax as they tend to be really good at not showing every little chip, they are also by far the easiest to apply and take off I have used. I used the SRR which was good, then used the blackhole glaze, then wax.

If you enjoy cleaning your car, then get a DA, ideally a rotary, more caution required but I already feel I should have gone straight for one and just used caution. The DA just makes it so much easier than doing it by hand, and with much better results.

Just make sure the paint is spotless before you start, clay bar etc as you dont want to drag crap round the paint at speed, and clay bar is so easy to use and brings amazing results imo.
