After washing your car do you wax it or put anything else on after washing it to make it look gleaming!

Anyone recomend any good stuff as i need to buy some new car cleaning products

I use Turtle Wax wash&wax shampoo, then Autoglym Resin Polish stuff, Colour protecter and Bumper Care stuff.

Don't polish the car very often any more, but if u clean it regularly enough it always shines like it's just polished anyway.
