Nice one mate ;)
I think you'll find the Super Resin polish is slightly more abrasive and will help you cut back the solid white paintwork, leaving you with a nice base to start building up the glaze / wax. Although saying that I use UDS and love it (but more so on my Black Vectra.)
The AG HD Wax is available from Halfords, but I've been ultra tempted to try some Dodo Diamond White (it gets good reviews)

Alternatively, if you want the best 'glaze' finish I would recommend Zaino products, this kit ticks all the boxes...

Don't hate me matt but I think the steering wheel looks out of place :(
I love your car though :)

Another small update...
Been a bit of a polishing geek yesterday and dismorning. Gave the Nova a polish with some AG Super Resin followed by two layers of AG Extra Gloss Protection and then a layer of Meguiars Carnauba Wax! Looks awesomely shiney :cool:

Also went and collected these from the sign makers today...

Here's the rough spare set to show what they should look like. They're done in a light grey and should look smart and suit the car once the wheels are painted white...

Not sure what to do with the MO's atm. I'm probably going to leave them until after Billing now as I don't have the coin to get the TH's done right now really. So thought I'd try and get the MO's looking spot on instead. Never been happy with the blue centre caps as they don't go with the car and not sure about the stickers now either. So I took and spare centre cap, prep'd a sprayed it Polar White and stuck it on to see what it looks like...

Vs. how they are atm...

I think they look loads better plain without the decals and with white centres and suit the car miles more. So probs gonna do the rest now and whip the stickers off!
Also stuck these on today as I've got sick of crap going up the side of the car lately...

Stick out a bit rally styleee but need to run them higher due to the car being so low. Need some back ones now.
That's my feeble update anyway!
