I know Polish has featured loads of times ,and wot is the best or in some cases no but hear goes.
Polished my motor yesterday tried Auto Glym Ultra Deep Shine well impressed could not fault it,designed
for dark colours.
I do tend to keep my car highly polished as a rule so i dont know how much that contributed to the overall effect.I realise i am going to have replies telling me about other products but this one works for me.

Have tried Zymol, very good, very expensive, now using Meguiars NXT Wax, third of the price of Zymol, easy to put on and get off, brilliant finish. Peter

Meguiars NXT wax and it layers very well, after the third waxing the depth of shine is simply brilliant!

Craig, I used this a couple of times on my car which is Speed Yellow, it does give a good shine but I don`t think it is that deep, also it doesn`t seem to stay that long.

It also pools (in white) around the stone guards which doesn`t look great.

High Carnauba content wax (Zymol, Victoria etc) is only way to go:

1) Cheaper (initial cost higher but you use so little it lasts forever)
2) Each application lasts longer
3) Doesn't leave white residue etc on other bits of car.

All above not IMHO but fact

I use Zymol ... when I can be bothered ... and it is superb, but boy is it labour intensive.

I bought the introductory kit from vertar.com (I think) which has pretty much everything you need including some quite cryptic instructions.

Or get Paul at Miracle to apply it if you can't be arsed. I know I would if I felt lazy and wealthy, Zymol is a bugger to put on and shine off

Each to their own on Polishes i think.

But one thing i tried the other day is this spray on quick turtle wax type stuff.

It's never gonna be as good, or last as long as Zymol etc etc, but for those days when you have just washed you car, and want that little bit extra shine, but haven't got the spare hour or so to do the full monty, then this is a good compromise, giving an instant extra shine.
And leave the Carnuba etc until you have the time.

Anyone tried it ??

I use Victoria 'Lite Cleanse' and Victoria 'Yellow Wax' from:

www.prestigecarcareproducts.com/description.html

'Lite Cleanse' is a very mild polish which I use once or twice a year and then wax whenever I think car needs it. Procedure is wash car with water, wax and then drive down road at 80+mph - water beads and rolls off so no faffinf with towels etc.

They are used to sending to UK.

Zymol 'Creme' and 'HD Cleanse' is a similar combo which gives the same results. Both widely available in UK.

VS,

I get my Klasse from here:
www.autopia-carcare.com

They ship to the UK no problem.

Klasse takes about 15 minutes - wipe on, wipe off.
Sealant takes the same amount of time.
More time is spent on prep - washing/drying/claying.

In between Klasse I use QuickDetail (10 mins) - with 2 kids I dont get as much time as I used to!!
