I used Raceglaze products on the SX last year and was really impressed with them Jeff.

Away from the polish i always use Swisswax wax on the cars i have owned since last years BBWF, Glynn applied it to the SX and the finish was excellent to say the least, if i remeber rightly he sold boxes of the stuff that day.

Raceglaze do a sample pack for a fiver which is enough to do your wedge indside and out once, try it you will be impressed.

My new pride and joy got the 5 stage treatment at the weekend - wash with Autoglym, then round with the quick clay and the Meguiars 3 system paint clean, polish and wax. Took a while but worth it. Will keep topped up with Meguiars gold class polish

Anyone remember a polish called Molyslip?? Found a tin in my late Grandfathers garage once. In a league of its own amongst car polishes.

Only remember Molyslip as an oil additive to reduce friction in engine. Remember adding some to my first car 20 yrs ago in the hope of making it go faster biggrin

I not the the type to normally join a "What Polish" thread, but for those that just want a regulay type shine......I use ICE, the paste one, I like it because it does not leave white residue on trim.

They have a clay bar too, but as you have probably gussed I don't own thatsmile

Sad to say I will be buying some wheel wax, partly to preserve the finish on the spider alloys but also to make life easier when dealing with our 2 daily drives.

This will probably convince the neighbours that I'm some kind of nut job

Meguiars G220 orbital polisher .. with a varity of heads..

Polish - Sonax with a final polish with Meguiars 205 for me.

Just been doing the RS today but every time I go out there it rains .. I've
been soaked 3 times today before I gave up, went to the pub and then the sun came out for the first time today. Typical.
