I’ve just purchased a Tornado Red Golf and the paint is in very good condition as the previous owner was very good with the machine polisher.
I currently have sat on my shelf the following, the polishes are fairly old.
Das 6 pro
Scholl S20 compound
Autoglym super resin
Auto smart mirror image
Built hamber auto wash
Sonax bsd
Koch chemie fse
Gyeon wet coat
I was thinking of trying the super resin and uhd wax combo as they seem to be well thought of and are very easy to apply, but with all the new spray on coatings now available is it worth the bother?
I’d spend up to £50 on the wax if needed and ease of application is my main criteria with hopefully protection of 6 months.

Sounds good to me, SRP + UHD is an overlooked and underrated combo imo.
Something like Gyeon WetCoat is an excellent option for adding additional protection very quickly and easily as and when you see fit - also perfect for during the winter months!

Thanks, I've edited my post as I do also have wet coat on the shelf. Something like Gyeon WetCoat is an excellent option for adding additional protection very quickly and easily as and when you see fit - also perfect for during the winter months!

If the previous owner has “been good with a machine polisher”, I would recommend you add a decent paint depth gauge to your shelf before plugging in the DA.
Even with something as relatively kind as a DAS6, you are going in blind. He may have chased every last scratch to get it to look as good as it looks today, and you could be burning through in places quite quickly if he has removed lots of clear coat in his efforts over the years.

On the flip side if the paint is that good there may be no need to break out the DA...Even with something as relatively kind as a DAS6, you are going in blind.

Is it safe to use SRP + UHD on a car with ppf? Are you suggesting using Gyeon WetCoat on top of and after the UHD application?Something like Gyeon WetCoat is an excellent option for adding additional protection very quickly and easily as and when you see fit - also perfect for during the winter months!

IYO will the above treatment give a better final result on a non-metallic red car, over Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax which is what I currently use?
TIA
