How do you guys do it?

I use:
Autoglym - bodywork shampoo conditioner.

Then Polish with:
Autoglym - super resin polish.

Then Polish with:
Autoglym - extra gloss protection.

But still i seem to have tiny tiny swirls on the finish and dust from the polish.

Any Tips from you guys?

dont use too much solution to be honest
got turtle wax alloy cleaner (foam) for my wheels
spray that on at the jetwash
then start scrubbing the car with the brush/soap
once covered, do the usual rinsing etc

then use the window thingy to take the water of the glass and body
then go over it with a leather cloth
once dry, spray the windows with window cleaner, spray the black bits (soon to be colour coded) and tyres with turtle way
and lastly use something from halfords called "showroom finish" to give it that shine

looks shiny for weeks even after it rains as the body doesnt leave rain marks
its great :>
