hi
my opinion is zaino
nothing else comes close
https://vault1.secured-url.com/car/products.asp?cat=11

this is link to uk supplier

ive tried most available and for ease,depth of shine and durability zaino is beyond belief

but imho whatever you put on your car is only as good as the surface you are applying to and what you use to apply and remove also has a major affect too

That has to be the best statement of fact... it's what you take the polish off with that can really make the difference. Whether Meguiars or Turtle Wax, using a micro fibre cloth really takes the effort and work out of most surfaces, even on black.

Either zymol or autoglym both give a good shine.

I have always used Auto Glym products, first wash the car with Auto Glym car body Wash, then Super Resin Polish and finally Exterior gloss protection whihc is left on for up to 1 hour!! looks well then!!

and for the windows always Rain-X!

Thats my point for the Auto Glym products!!

hi simon

i would wash your car in washing up liquid really well twice
this strips wax silicones etc quite well

then u could use this Gloss Enhancing Paintwork Cleanser by p21s

it is really good and available here

http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/sp/ ... sh_wax.php

bout half way down page

i have used this and it is very good and easy to use
the wax that goes with it is above on that page and again is really good but its wax and therefore its durability isnt brilliant ie you have to keep topping the wax up
if thats something you are happy to do then itsreally good wax
