Talking which polish????

been trying various polishes on my silver classic scoob since i got it 4 months ago, so far i haven't found one that gives it a deep shine.
what polish are you lot using? any recommendations.
I'm trying to get the mirror finish effect without spending a fortune.

Regardless of which polish you choose,I think Swissol and Maguires are the favourites on here... you will be surprised how much of a difference it will make if you give the paintwork a good going over with a Clay Bar first

Meguairs...use the clay bar... it makes all the difference.
It might seem pricey but it last ages and you dont need much.
I`ve got a MY95 wagon and it always gets comments from the service guys as to the condition..

Try zymol from halfords it makes the tuscan look great, takes a few attempts to remove swill marks etc but does work! oh and it smells lovely!

I use the Zymol cleaner wax from Halfords, also sold here http://www.zdouk.com it cleans and waxes the car in one go, giving a deep shine.
Very impressed
