agreed-get G3 compound from halfords or any motor factors, after you've treated it with that (cuts back the paint, but without the ammonia as found in T-cut) use autoglym polish to seal and protect the finish.
ps-go to the range on cowdray avenue for the autoglym, proper cheap compared to halfords, you might even grt the g3 in there too.

also the g3 is water based so you can wash off any that splatts etc... unlike t cut which is oil based

make sure you get some polish on now... cause the paint is open to attack from sun etc... it will be dull within 2 weeks without any

i dont know how to speel it
but "mir" ? in a blue bottle with a silver lid. is a good polish.

alternatively, use autoglym
