Been out cleaning the Jag today and it's come out reasonably well. I've washed with a Mer shampoo, done some paint restoration using G3, a polish with Meguirs polish and finished with carnuaba wax, all done by hand with reasonably good cloth.

It doesnt seem as deep a shine as I'd like though, feels like it could be glossier.

Any suggestions on where to go after that?

What colour is the jag? When was it last clay barred?

Even just a simple clay barring can have a possitive outcome on the final result you can achieve, some waxes can give a slightly glossier look but in my opinion it is all in the prep

Out of curiosity what wax did u finish off with?

Cheers, finished with Meguairs carnuaba wax, car was clayed when I got it around 6-8 weeks ago. It's Jewish Racing Gold coloured

I'm happy with it, but think it could have more of a glossy shine to it, considering that Autoglym show shine stuff?

Thats a interesting colour, if it was clay barred then it wont need done for a while.

I personally use a glaze topped with a carnauba wax which usually gives a nice wet look,
