Default Paint work maintenance.

I've just given the Cossie a complete detail using the products recommend by Gaz for Imperial blue paint. The result was fantastic & worth the 5hrs excluding washing the car .

What I need to know is what is the best way to keep it at its best ? I use Poorboy's Slick & Suds once a week & use plenty of clean water when washing the car. Is there anything I can do to protect the paint work & how often should you polish the car to this extent ? Are the quick detail sprays any good ??

The car lives on the drive, so is outside in all weathers.

Cheers for any responses.

Yes, used Autoglym extra gloss protection then wax ontop of that as recommended by Gaz. I might give the Poorboy's Spray & Shine a go after washing.

Has anyone tried this ??

Thanks for the advice.
