They should strip of any waxes/sealants of anyway but avoid thinks like Autoglym Super Resin as they can be a painters nightmare! I would just wash it in the meantime if they are coming soon.

Looks spot on - very nice.

Added some links above - these are good but the site seems down http://www.classicadditions.com/

With car covers you get what you pay for, decent ones are in the 100-200 quid range though. http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/Store/Category/FeaturedCategoryProducts.aspx?CategoryId=16&gclid=CNH8m92c8I4CFQ6HlAodTWKFKg http://www.vertar.com/cover-selector.asp?gclid=CJOf-OWc8I4CFQbclAod2EycKg

Flash spot free rinse part should be fine, not sure how strong the shampoo part is.

Not used any of the Dodo's the finishes do look good in pics, but can't comment myself. I tend to do, one side of the car and remove, then so on with the other, then the bonnet and tailgate and then the roof.

Another vote for the Sonus Der Wunders for Wax removal. Dodo will have to go some to get close to Collinites durability. Either could be applied over the P21s if you don't fancy polishing and/or sealing again first.

Knowsit - Wash and OCW job done !

I have tried to spot the difference over P21s on Silver trying the Swissvax and Zymols I have - I can't.

I would try some Clay, Meguiars All Purpose cleaner or Autoglym Engine and Machine cleaner on the stubborn areas before you think about anything acid based.

P21s for me looks slightly better. P21s is so easy on and off, the Collinites don't wipe off quite as easily. Once a month is ideal for the P21s, once every 6 months is fine for the 3 layers of EGP. http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/ for the Duragloss Shampoo

Looks wise you will struggle to see the individual differences in Carnuba's on Silver. The Collinite will out last the P21s, but is not as easy to use. Shampoo wise look into Duragloss Wash,

Yeap - no drying needed then. http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/Store/Category/ManufacturerProductList.aspx?ManufacturerId=2&gclid=CMXK6dTo7o4CFQ7tlAodCH7RJg

Good choice me too, it sat on the drive for a month till I was 20 as the buggers would not insure me on it !

After washing see if the paint feels rough or smooth - especially the roof and bonnet as these are the areas that pick up most of the bonded on contamination. You should be able to feel it with your hands, put using your hand in a clean sandwich type plastic bag will make it easier. If so it is...

What ever you use over the VM you will not get huge amounts of durability due to the oilyness off it. Sealants are a no no on it tbh - but I did get ok results using EX-p over it then a carnuba. Any Carnuba will work on it - I would initally use a proper carnuba and then use the Optimum after...

Drying is where the swirls mostly come from, ditch the towels and get some filtered water.

Sometimes (more often than not) even a wet sand and machine polish will notsort them, purchased a 309 GTi which had the same damage a few years ago and they would not polish out.

Steve you are but a boy still in comparison. Sshhhh - Don't give the Baron's Secrets away, that's how come I look so young! ;)

Cars home and dry I am at work though :(

Be safe - but is that what you call Lusty now ?

Not had a free Sat to get over. Hell no home in the dry !

Super Resin is a Polish (which also cleans and leaves some protection) Extra Gloss is a Sealant Using the EGP over the SRP will seal the shine it leaves and give a durable protective layer good for 1-3 plus months in some case

Both the stores round here have huge pre-order waiting lists.

No cup packs on the LY, surprised someone would spend all that extra cash on the paint and not bother with the cheap add ons ! Enjoy.

I am shocked you did not clean the arches while you where there Ali ;)
