RS Daz - for Polaris grey in good condition (which, looking at your sig i'm assuming yours is) you would get a nice finish out of Poorboy's Polish with Carnauba Blue.

Glaze with ClearKote RMG to wetten the shine, and seal with Poorboy's EX-P to make your flake pop, or with EX to mute the flake and richen the shine - that's your personal preference. Wax with Natty's Blue.

Jim - Your Saff looks nice White is, as i'm sure you know, a colour very difficult to get a shine on - not to say it can't be done - but you'll never get a reflective gloss finish like a black or dark blue car. There are a number of options available for white paint though, to give a range of different finishes. This was a polish, glaze/seal, wax combo:

You might want to consider something more modern than T-Cut - it's abrasives don't break down and can cause a lot of harm to the paintwork - there's far better things out there.

Hello mate, it's not a Cossie, but this ST170 is Imperial Blue:













This was achieved with:

Poorboy's Clay + ClearKote Quik Shine
Poorboy's Polish with Carnauba Blue
ClearKote Red Moose Glaze
Poorboy's EX-P
Natty's Blue

Alternative products can be subbed into that line up depending on the finish you'd like, and the quality of the paint at the moment - just give me a shout and i'll let you know what i think
