    I use Smartwax products, first two coats of Smartwax sealer and on top one coat Smartwax carnauba for extra shine.

    Off topic and it may sound bizarre but how are you lot washing your cars to get a decent finish before putting a good/expensive wax on?

    The amount of old grease and film on our car would take some hand cleaning due to the wife parking under a blossom tree at work, the sap has made it look dull... I could high power wash with a heated jet wash but I don't think it would help!!!

    All the suggestions of good wax will help me on the quest for our "cough" Ford

    Jet wash - snow foam - jet wash. Then inspect it and see if it needs more. If snow foam isnt enough then a microfibre wash mit and two bucket method and wash in straight lines along te length of the car, never up and down or round and round

    Wax on a light colour car dosn't give very good lcairty and depth!

    Use a paint sealent........... Auto finesse - tough coat!

    You will never look back!
