Got to polish my car soon. Cars black
I know nothing about cleaning shit atall and couldnt care less so can someone recommend a polish/wax/whatever i need (preferably available from halfords or the likes so i can get some tommorow morning, not something i need to order online or go and extract myself from some sort of african wax tree)
Just want a half decent deep shine really and if possible something that doesnt leave white shit everywhere that i have to spend days picking out but may be asking too much.
Talk to me

More down to user error than the product. Use less, apply carefully, no issues. Just don't take tips from Daveskater 
Off the shelf, Autoglym SRP topped with HD wax.

Just looked on the halfrauds site and autoglym SRP looks like a good option but the hd wax is 50 odd quid for a tub?
Any cheaper options that are half decent or il be leaving my car with the abandoned look
