Hoover mentioned on another post about you should wax and don't over polish but I was wondering what is the best non-polish type wax to use.

What is the wax of choice?

Cheers Chris, I have heard before that it is good. Where do you buy it from ...places like Halfords?

We should have some piccies of your gleaming S, are you going to post one for us?

Strangely enough, I found a shop at the end of my road that specialises in car care products. You can go to the meguiars website and check out the dealer locator.

I've tried the 3 step care as well and it's very good. If I'm being pedantic I'll use the 3 step care, Swirl remover, Deep Crystal Polish, and Carnuba Wax; then put the Gold Class wax on.

It's excellent stuff, the car's been out in the rain since Sunday and the water still beads off and we've had some pretty heavy rain.



Me fixing my door at silverstone.

Must be asleep. But he's quite right, it's fanatstic stuff - particularly the prewax polish. He's done a review over in the reviews section of the site.

I've just bought Plunkett's Chimaera, and it is VERY shiny mmm. He swears by Carnuba Wax - anyone who has seen it at Mid-Essex is not going to disagree with him!!

He leaves the wax overnight, and uses a rotary buffer to buff in the morning. I've always steered clear of anything but hand polishing, but I cannot argue with the results

Chris, that's the first time I've seen your car. Looks nice and shiny!

The new clear Headlights look very nice too, as does the GF!

Cheers Kevin, I wasn't too happy, she had just pulled the door handle off of the passenger door.
