Looking very clean.
Super resin polish is actually quite a good polish. It got voted polish of the year on detailing world.
I personally prefer auto finesse tripple polish.

Looking smooth mate. Polish,wax,sealant etc is all personal preference I guess. I'm finding dodo juice supernatural hybrid to be good on my candy, some people rave about this werkstat akrylic or however it's spelt.
Just so many bloody options lol.

Oh by the way I hope you meant you used a wash mitt rather than a sponge lol

lol my advice.....


dont listen to that person again. :shake: :shake: :shake:
a car wax wouldnt make the paint look dull. it will protect the paint from uv rays and bird shit etc. whilst usually adding gloss and making it look better. it also depends on the wax.
for example i had auto finesse illusion show wax on my car and it made my car very glossy. paint would look dull if it wasnt taken care of and polished now and agin.

my advice is a good clean.
followed by a good polish
then protect the paintwork with either a wax or a sealant.

plus when a car is waxed or protected with a sealent the water beads on the paint and looks cool ;)

Yeah go with devils advice. I tried to reply earlier but the app seems to be playing up. In between waxs etc you can just wash dry & go round it with a quick detailer

Lol. It can become very expensive. I have a hard time picking something off there. I'll read the reviews & that but then struggle to make a decision lol.

Don't think I've got any wax in my list with not long having the supernatural hybrid. I've looked at pretty much everything else though lol. I'm liking the look of the gtechiq range though

There's none left on cleanyourcar but Amazon has it for 30£ including a microfibre and applicator pad .

So would I be good doing this :

Rinse
Snowfoam
Wash mitt ;)
De tar
Polish
Dodo juice Hybrid

That will be the big one before titanic dubs in Belfast .

I use autofinesse illusion wax on mine. I find myself having to reapply it more often than id like but its not that big an issue since the wax is so soft! Definitely get a clay bar! Amazing bit of kit. Car looks awesome though mate
