autoglym super resin polish is very good not sure about abrasive its very easy to use..

that crystal paint cleaner i used sort of wipes the board clean so to speak taking off a light layer of paint which reveals shiney paint and all you have to do is polish it and then wax it, you will get results 10times better than me

I think its all down to how u wash ya car first tho glen this is what i do and what i use for polish

1.Jet wash the car
2.Two bucket method with Autoglym Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner and lambswool mitt
3.Drying Towell
4.Clay bar with lub
5.Two bucket method with Autoglym Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner and lambswool mitt
6.Drying Towell
7.Autoglym Paint Renovator(If the car really needs it)
8.Autoglym Super Resin Polish
9.Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection
10.Meguiars tech wax for me it just gives that wet look on the car

How do glenn,been coming on here for years now just dont post much matey. Think the thing wiv polish and that is that everyone has there own they like to use some are good on dark cars and some are good on light cars, dark cars ya always gonna get a deep gloss shine than on a white car suppose that it has summit to do wiv that white is always gonna reflect light. am gonna use rest of me auto glym stuff and try poor boys stuff n see what its like ave always had canny results wiv auto glym and tbh its all ave ever used bar this stuff from ambersill called autogroom thats polish and wax in one and that gives a canny shine
