On my old red Scoob I used Autoglym SRP and Nattys paste wax as a sealant. Looked uber sexy.

On the 205 I use Menzerna Intensive Polish and Autoglym High definition Wax. Again, uber sexy results.

Autoglym is a great polish to use by hand. It needs to be covered in a decent wax /sealant as it contains fillers. If you don't seal it, all your hard work gets washed away
Collinite 476 is great on red and lasts for ages.

I use the Werkstatt acrylic kit on my silver car.

wash with turtle ice car wash. use turtle ice liquid clay or use a proper clay bar depends how bad the paint is. turtle ice car polish and then seal with colonite 476. do that 3 times a year. inbetween the full detail i wash with turtle ice car wash and use the turtle ice spray detailer to finish. the colonite lasts for months if you put 2 coats on.

Autoglym Super resin for me too. Used it years ago and forgot how good it was. No chalky powder either when you wipe off, not like Mer.

Autoglym conditioning shampoo and then Autoglym SRP. Did mine all over today and looks awesome! I also use the Autoglym paint renovator for scuffs and swirls.

Will i need to use a wax over the Autoglym SRP or is that still good for a final finish?
