zymol cleaner polish, smells the nuts, no white dusty crap like autoglym and you set it with water, light mist and buff and bling nice and shiney

For speed I use Autoglym Express Wax aka Aqua Wax is really good and is extremely easy and quick to use. Plus it smells really good and you apply it whilst your car is still wet.
And when I have time to spend polishing I use Farecla Wax Top Liquid Wax Polish. This is a really good long lasting wax but works best if you put it on and leave it on for >15 mins before you buff it off.

Autoglym Super Resin polish is another good polish but if you have any stone chips the polish is very white and makes stone chips stand out especially on dark colours.

You could get a million recomendations for that question.

Ive seen tests by a pro detailer friend of mine using the cheapest polishes he could find compared to polish that costs the same as a small car and the differences were slim when used on a car which had no prep work done.

Buying a good polish doesnt mean its going to make your car look good.

95% of it is down to the preperation.

Does the car have any paint defects, swirl marks, faded, ect.

Have you clayed the car to remove any surface contaminants that washing doesnt remove.

If the prep work isnt right then ALL polishes will be poor.

Meguiars SwirlX

Meguiars NXT 2.0

I gave over using Autoglym Super Resin cause of the white residue in the chips.

Hope that helps.

Dont ask what your club can do for you, but what can you do for your club?

For all those using super resin polish they have released a new version.

Its either got no dust or a lot less of it.

I would recomend Diamondbrite. A 2 stage application to your paintwork and its easy to do. Also protects the cars paint from bird muck, tree sap, acid rain etc. It very good.

PM me if you want some.
