With spring just round the corner i'll soon be looking to give the bodywork a bit of extra work to shine it up for the summer months.
I wash weekly using uber shampoo, woolen mitt, 2 bucket system with grit guards and pat dry. (except once a month when I give it a top up with autoglym aqua wax)
The result is a decent finish and very few swirls or other marks, but I think it's losing a bit of "sparkle" compared to when i got it (2nd hand) 9 months ago.
So I want to do something cheap, quick and effective.
Now i've read loads of threads and I'm still pretty confused - there's almost too much choice. It was a relevation to discover that polish is "destructive" in that it takes stuff off - I suppose i just thought you were just adding a shiny layer!
So in simple terms, when I've done a good wash what should i do? Should i use polish? Should i then use another product after that - a sliconeproduct to give a layer of protection? or something else?
I'm not naive enough to expect a showroom shine at minimal cost but don't want to shell out a fortune and ideally half a days work is my max! I'll be planning to do a similar exercise in 6 months time ready for next winter.
