      30 hrs? I know it's your 3rd siggy but even you don't change them that often!

      Do you mean wax or polish? You're gonna have the anoraks at us if you mean wax. I'm still raving about Fusso. I love it. I've got the one for dark cars but this would be the one you want https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Soft99-Fu...0AAOSwfghapWjQ My son is using it on his light silver shogun and he loves it too. Makes the car glow with a deep shine.

          with polish colour shouldn't matter as you are working on removing micro scratches out of the lacquer
          i use megs 105 + 205 combo using a DAS pro DA polisher
          after this use a "glaze" which is a filler to temporarily fill any swirls you missed, i use poorboys blackhole but one white car use poorboys white diamond
          washing will not remove the effects of polish as polishing physically removes a thin layer of lacquer, you will only add more swirls if your washing technique isn't great
          glazes will wash off slowly or quickly depending on what you wash with, same with wax
          after the glaze add your wax or sealant
          for wax i use a few depending on the effect i want, for winter i use collinite 915 if my arms are feeling strong or finishkare fk1000p hi temp wax, i use the fk1000p on wheels too
          the collinite is a hard wax and will last up to 6 months, the fk1000p is softer and easy to work with
          in summer i use obsession wax limited edition one for waxstock for the showroom shine but it only last a couple of week
          no wax will give you both, the scale goes between protection and high shine but short term

          for a full wash routine i do:
          pressure wash
          snow foam/prewash
          pressure wash
          clean wheels with bilt hamber auto wheels
          pressure wash wheels
          clay wheels and rinse again
          wash car two bucket method with bilt hamber auto wash
          pressure wash
          clay car if need
          pressure wash
          dry car
          polish if needed otherwise skip to glaze and wax
          dry and wax wheels
          apply megs tyre gel to tyres
          have a cup of tea

            I like using Poorboys Black Hole on my darker coloured car, and have similarly had good results with their White Diamond on my previous silver Vectra. (White Diamond is for white and light coloured paints)

            As per the label, it's a glaze, as opposed to an actual polish. (i.e. non-abrasive).



            My experience is that it gives a really nice wet/slick looking finish, and also contains fillers to help mask any minor swirls or imperfactions in the paint. Easy to apply as well.

            As Mo_miah says, you could add a layer of wax of over the top of this for added protection. I use Collinite 476, which although perhaps not the easiest to apply, certainly gives good results for a reasonable price:

                            surely the white diamond would replace the SRP? they are both glazes, no harm in using both though

                            there's no perfect detailing routine, do what you have time for and if you are happy with the results then great
                            i don't always use my full routine
                            if im in a rush i use a spray quick wax
