Although im no expert and one of the proffesionals on here will perhaps correct me, this way works best for me .I personally reccomend using Auto-glym's productus buddy. If you want to do a full hit i'd normally do it like this:

*Use Auto-Glym Clay Bar and Rapid Detailer to remove tar spots, insects etc

*Then i personally use Auto Glym's Paint Renavator to get the best out of the colour

*Then its The Super Resin Polish which im told has a slight grain to it to remove light swirl marks

*Then its my personal favourite Auto-Glym Hi-Definition Wax which really does bring the shine up of your car

Some people tend to use the Extra Gloss Protection before they Wax

Hope this helps,

Here's a few pictures from when i did mine yesterday only i didn't do a detail first: http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=543808

I personally use a variety of products, mostly Dodo Juice.

Dodo Sour Power shampoo, clayed with Bilt Hamber clay bar and Dodo Born Slippy lube, Dodo Need for Speed polish/paint cleaner, Dodo Rainforest Rub wax.

I always recommend claying as it makes a massive difference and is quicker than polishing or waxing, once you've done it a few times at least But do bear in mind that once clayed, the paint is completely care as it removes anything bonded to the paint which includes wax etc so you will need to apply some more.

I have some recent pics at home but haven't put them in my garage yet
