Can anyone recommend a couple of good products to start off my collection with? IE, the paint has only ever had a 'normal' wash and wax whenever it got dirty but i want to start getting it looking good.

So what should i start with to 'condition' the paint and then get it nice and shiny?

Cheers for any info,
Chris

If you want a nice little starter kit, Look for the Bilt hamber range. Very sensibly priced and getting very good reports lately.

If the blurb on that Bilt Hamber stuff is true, it sounds pretty good.

And a lot less confusing for mere mortals like myself than megs, zaino etc.

What would i apply that balm stuff with? (I'm assuming it's a kind of wax?) Soft cloth? Microfibre? Megs sponge thingy?
