Megs 105 and 205 for polish.
Could use poorboys black hole after that. Then layer up some collinite 476s. Will protect for ages. I've had beading for up 8 months on a single cost.
Iron x should rid of most brake dust.

Cheer mate will have a look into that im gonna chat to my valet and detailing mate as well see what advice he can offer that wax you said about looks good value 8months on a single coat that is value

The 476 is awesome value for money. I love the stuff. Usually end up with 2-3 layers on tho. Have fun. You want any other help just hit me up chap!

Do you have a machine polisher or will you be working by hand?

If by hand one of the best polishes you can buy is G/techniq P1 used with one of their hand polishing pads you'll get excellent results. Colli 476s isn't a bad wax but can be hard to work with as it cures very very quickly and can be a right royal pain to buff off. Also mentioned was Autoglym HD wax which personally I don't like but it can be bought much cheaper online than it can in shops. My recommendation would be Finish Kare 1000p, technically is a sealant not a wax but it's applied and removed in the exact same way and will last as long as the Colli. The FK1000p is also brilliant on wheels as it's a high temp sealant. It comes in a BIG tin and is cheap.

The collies is fine if you keep an eye on it. Just keep doing your smudge test. Ie. if I wipe your finger through the wax and leaves clear finger trail your ready to wipe off. If it smears leave it a little longer. You can't go wrong. Little goes a long way. Layer it on thin.
