Meguiars Scratch X or Carlack Hand Polishing bundle if working by hand in the areas needed.
Autoglym Super Resin Polish to the whole of the car
Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection to seal
Nice coat of carnauba wax as an extra step for the final look...
The joys of hard VW paint. I have not tried anything more than Menzerna Powergloss by PC and even that was not very successful.
When working with Brazo I have seen him crack out the Megs #84 but the rotary has the balls to break it down, be careful choosing harder compounds to try and make them...
I grabbed a pot of the Orange Crush for a mate and he likes it on his Red Pug. We did a panel with that, a panel with He seems to like it. the OC and one with Onyx and again struggled to see any difference.

Gives me a good 3 months at least here. I only use it on wheels now which means they get a one coat initially and maybe an a additional layer from time to time after a wash. Should leave it 12-24 hours between layers hence why I don't bother using it much other than on wheels these days when I...
