As the wax is a wax, how did you manage to polish your car with it ?

Wax is wax, polish is polish. Polish the car with polish, wax it with wax.

Have to say I'm quite a fan of the Meguiar's 3-Step Deep Crystal Shine - fantastic results. The products also smell fantastic...

Oooooh that Image Wheels site is very tempting.
I think they must go on my list of things a boy desperately needs and can't do without.
