Most cars will benefit from a machine polish to remove any marks, once you have a good finish on the paint just use whichever sealant/protector that you like to use.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.
PistonHeads: 1 discussions
0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.
0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.
Generation: 20261026T144035Z · outcome-qualification-6. Deterministic extraction; no AI model inference. How we use sources
Don't know if this topic has been covered previously but I'm trying to gauge the latest on preferred wax/Polish for my pride and joy!

I am no expert but I believe that it is more about the time and effort expended, not the product.
It all depends on how much effort you want to put in. For a really good finish I would get a snow foam lance, clean the car thoroughly usin the two bucket method and then clay bar the panels. You now have clean and smooth paintwork, and a good waxing with a polish that contains a high carnauba wax content will bring up the paint a treat.
I use Auto glym or poor boys stuff
Edited by Huskyman on Monday 26th January 08:52
I source all my stuff through PolishedBliss - excellent service and they'd be more than happy to recomend products based on your car colour and what your priorities are (e.g. durability, reflectivity etc.) ... I'm currently using Blackfire polish / sealant and very impressed with ease of application and finish...!
I used to waste a good proportion of my Saturdays cleaning and polishing with various products and 'potions'. You don't have to spend a lot of time or money though and I've simplified my approch so I have more time to do other things (such as driving).
I've gone back to a simple application of Autoglym Super Resin polish followed by a coat of Armorall Shield. This gives a very decent shine and the water beading properties of the Armorall lasts for many washes.
I used to use a variety of Meguiars multi-stage products but now just use their Gold Class Shampoo for washing in conjuction with the above when going for a polish.
Everyone develops their own favourite products and techniques and the options are truely endless.
Happy buffing.
The main thing is always going to be making sure that the paintwork is free of marring, swirls etc before you start putting protection of any description on.
Most cars will benefit from a machine polish to remove any marks, once you have a good finish on the paint just use whichever sealant/protector that you like to use.
Some of the sealants are worthwhile as they last for ages and mean you can spend less time and money maintaining the shine and more time enjoying the car.

Collinite 476. About fifteen quid a tin, good shine, and lasts for bleeding ages.
Yes this... then leave for 24hrs and put a skin of 915 on top then stand back and admire your work.
