just polished my cup and want it to look even shinier, what is the best polish to use?

whoops should be in detailing sorry x

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Autoglym super resin polish , topped off with autoglym extra gloss protection or JEFFS Werkstatt Acrylic .Then top that off with a good wax like 50/50 from carwashnwax.

As above but you will maybe need a more abrasive polish before the Super Resin depending on the paint condition.

the megs 3 stage is pretty good if the paints in poor condition to start with.

ultra deep shine from autoglym is good on darker colours.

I'd use Meguirs quick clay.... that gets rid of all the bonded on clap like tar and tree sap, then Autoglym Super Resin Polish, then follow that by Aytoglym Extra Goss Protection, used to give good results for mine

Dam i miss that colour

the paint work is not that bad but i know it could look better!

If working by hand Laura of the shelf in Halfords something like Meguiars Scratch X may be an option. I would use on specific defects rather than the whole car as it will need repeated applications and some elbow grease.

This is a decent mail order option that has been known to yield good results - http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing/polish/car-lack-68-hand-polish-kit/prod_359.html

Best plan would be to find someone local to give the car a lick over with a machine polisher for you.
