    Looking great there. If you're happy with Menzerna products then stay with them.

    Have you ever tried a Glaze or Sealant before applying a Wax? I always apply a glaze after polishing as it seems to make the colour pop.

      No mate, can't say I had tbh.. Normally (before I started using the DA) I'd use the likes of AutoGlym SRP & then wax, but all done by hand.

      Any suggestions on products??

      Would it simply be a case of using the Menzerna product 1st as normal, then glaze/sealant, then wax??

        Exactly that mate. Some companies will provide sample bottles so you can try before you buy the full size bottle.

        In the past I've used Chemical guys stuff and always been happy with it.

            Found some pictures of two days work on my old Astra. It won a show and shine after this -

            I think I added a coat of Jet Seal after this to try and protect the shine.

                          Shame you're in London though Saul.. you're a long way from me in Chester. Try and arrange a local fix it meet, everyone get's together blitz's any work needed on the cars plenty of coffee & biscuits on the go. I've done a few over the years, they're a great way of getting to meet the guys to and great for a bit of banter
