My first go at claying, polishing and waxing

[mb450]

Hi Folks,

I'm not usually one for keeping the exterior of my cars clean, but I thought I'd have a go at sorting out my chimaera.
Spent a couple of hours on the car this morning.

Here's how the bonnet ended up (it does have a few stone chips - the marks you can see) but I have managed to removed the swirls and some minor scratches. Just thought I'd share it as I'm chuffed to pieces with the result. Crap quality camera phone; the relection is the me, strip light and ceiling/roof of the garage.

Again sorry about the groin shot!

Regarding the bonnet - I've put some autoglym extra gloss protection on as it was all I had in the garage. What would you guys recomend as a wax? I had a tiny bit of carnuba(sp) wax by meguers but not enough to finish the job.
