For the grill, try either back to black or Autoglym's rubber+vinyl stuff (works for me). Others swear by black shoe polish

OH you will need a box of polishing cloths, from a body shop supplier or ebay.
this is how the profesionals get a show room shine.
did I mention put a whole day aside, not a suuny one it is easier if it is dull and overcast.
the rest is shiney car syndrome history !!!! javascript:emoticon('')
Very Happy

Looks like I shall be taking the turtlewax back & getting some meguiars polish & autoglym for the grill. I shall check out ebay for the polishing cloths.
I'll sort the bodywork first & sort the wheels after.
Cheers guys.

Also, while we're on the topic of polishing, I've found the flanelette material used for baby's nappies really good…is there any reason why I shouldn't use this?
For paint work that feels as soft as a baby's bum use flannelette nappies. On a serious note, I can't see a problem with that, its the same stuff isn't it? :dontknow:

ops: sorry not the first time i have done that 8O
Lol, not to worry.
I bought Meguiars Nxt Generation Tech Wax. Need it to stop rainning so I can try the wax. I've washed my car twice already, bought her 10 days ago. Where I practice driving there is (putting it politely) cow excrement everywhere. How often will I need to use the Meguiars?

…it seems to work alright anyway…
(I also have a lot of cow poo around where I drive - very annoying stuff, but hearing them moo during the day makes up for it)
