it works just as well mixing it but only takes half the effort and time, or if effort isnt a problem next step up would be meguiars although to be honest the new tech wax isnt that much of an effort but the results are very good

50/50 and normally a coat of wax on top of it gives the best results

nah, its much better if you polish, then use the top gloss, real shine comes from buffing up the top gloss after its set. after half hour or so

dont really see the point in mixing it, but it would save time

Don't fanny about mixing stuff up, just buy a decent polish. What colour is the car, if it's black get some Pinnacle Souveran from the states, it's about £40 a tub.
