Remember you need to spend time prepping the car before application for best results

As Andy says mate, its usually not the wax/sealent that puts the sine on, but the prep before hand.

What colour is your car?

Silver coloured cars- Wash, Clay, Wash, Lime prime, Auto Glym Super Resin Polish, and a sealant of your choice.

Dark Cars - Wash, Clay, Wash, Lime Prime, Auto Glym Ultra Deep Shine, wax of your choice.

These are the simple cheap ways to get a nice shine mate, really depends on how far you want to go tbh.

Clay is...well clay.


Using lube you rub it over paint work to remove contamination like tree fallout, overspray ect
Lime prime is a "pre wax" cleanser,

I have to say that I have used Meguiars Tech Wax Spray for years and I cant fault it at all! Ive used it on Black, Silver and Blue Cars and great results every time for little money.
Ive heard of DODO stuff, but wasn't sure what it was like. May have to give it a go.
