Depending on the cars paint condition will govern if it needs a machine polish, swirl marks and scratches are a real pain if not impossible to remove by hand.

Wash - Sonax Gloss Shampoo
Dry - Sonus Drying Towel
Clay - Meguiars Quik Clay
Machine Polish - Menzerna Final Finish, Menzerna Intensive Polish if required.
Paint Cleaner/Prep - Autogylm Super Resin
Sealant - Jeffs Werksatt Acyrlic Jett
Wax - Depending on colour / time of year - Megiuars 16, rest of the year most colours P21s, on Black Pinnacle Souveran of CG 50/50
Wheel Cleaner/Sealant - Meguiars APC and Poorboys Wheel Sealant

If you have swirl marks, and you don't have a machine polisher and you find that using AG super resin doesn't remove them much, try megs scratch-x, bit more aggresive.

could do with a pc to be honest, when i owned it it had lots of swirls despite polishing it to high heaven. Gte in touch with al and ask him how much he'd do it for (hes up north iirc)

SRP is to mild to remove anything major to be honest. Scratch X will work to a certain extent but will take a hell of a lot of elbow grease and never quite reach the finish a good machine polish will do.

lmao, well hes taken off a load of bits and sold it for 700 quid more, so yeah he has, but has ripped someone off in the process, unless of course hes seen sense and lowered his price which i doubt
