I have just bought a new e30 with an already great (origional) paint job. I have already put a coat of traditional Turtle Wax on it for protection and am planning on repeating this every few months. I was wondering if anyone had any idea of something I can use after I wash it (weekly) to keep the shine up??

Has anyone used Turtle wax express shine or platinum detailer??
Would these suit?

It is mineral blue / mineralblau if this helps

I can't afford to pay too much as i'm only a student

Thanks in advance

Dean

PS I'm in New Zealand and don't know if we have all of the same products as the UK

Congrats on buying a new e30.

I would recommend you switch waxes to something a little more durable like Collinite 476, Two coats of that are said to last 6 months! It's not massively expensive either.
For washing duties, I would use something like Meguiars soft wash gel. Another good product that is easy on the pocket.

I think Tim @ www.cleanyourcar.co.uk would ship to NZ if you couldn't find the items over there.
