best polish to use

I use a lot of Autoglym products (although some can be a little chalky), Mer, Meguiars, Simoniz and Autosmart Mirror Image, which is the BOMB as far's I'm concerned. I have a red car too mate, so yeah - if you have any faded bits, the Mer all rounder polish (in a blue, square container) is good for oxidised paint etc. Autoglym's SRP (super Resin Polish), EGP (Extra Gloss protection), etc are good for maintaining a shine, but remember to top / seal it all off with a decent wax. Also - SRP if I remember correctly, claims that it removes swirl marks, but it doesn't, it kinda fills them? But as I said - Mirror Image (found on Fleabay by an awesome guy who's a valeter who sells it to you in bottles, that's really good stuff. A few off another forum use it, and there's a stunning Ibiza GTi which uses it often, so it's some good stuff!) To think that I was pretty cynical about it initially, thinking he was putting some any old sh*t into bottles, I was wrong!

I can vouch for Mirror Image I used to use it on my cough cough Fiat Punto cough cough. I use the Autosmart Platinum Polish on mine it doesn't have as much cut as Mirror Image but it's ideal for metallics. I used all Autosmart stuff when I was a valeter for Pentraeth and my boot is still full of the stuff just incase i fancy some valeting while my Fiancee is shoppping. I don't know what would happen if I got rear ended cos I have a few aerosols in the boot too.

haha, it'd be like the gazza strip all in one car...

And yeah - kudos to Mirror Image / Autosmart. Beautiful stuff!... I like how "no frills" all the products are off this nice guy on eBay too. Just a simple bottle with a marker on it, no fancy labelling shit.

i wouldnt bother with an all in one polish personally

depends how much you wanna be spending, how bad your paintworks is, and how much time you wanna be spending on it too, and how often

for the most part you get what you pay for, if the paints got defects then id recommend machine polishing

best bet is to take a look on the mentioned websites

Get intouch with Paul Autosmart instead of getting it off ebay, his number is probably in the paper somewhere. He's a top bloke but his dog scares the shit out of me.
