Guys,

I know this has been talked about before, but i've read a couple of posts and i'm still not sure what i should use!!!

Just had some panels re-sprayed (on the 850CSi) and would like to know what (if anything) i should be putting on the paintwork to best keep the shine/finish??

I'm a lazy bugger (and busy!) so something easy would be good, but either way, i'll prob end up getting someone else to do it for me!!

Not sure if they put anything on in the bodyshop - forgot to ask 'cos i'm way too tired!! I'll try and find out though!

All advice welcomed!! And if anyone fancies popping down to croydon to do some polishing...........

Cheers.

All we do in the bodyshop is wax them after flatting and polishing the paintwork,to protect the paintwork properly you need to use diamond brite it is like a scotch gaurd for cars,only thing is thoug it isnt all that cheap but it puts a really good protective coating on same as what you get on a brand new car.
If you dont want to go down that route than a really good wax like meguires or zymol should do the trick
