lol, i suggest not using car lover's, high pressur eis bad for poish and waxes. My guess is everyone will sggest meguir's, but, for me its ****, short shine etc.
For the best polish use Zaino. Gives the best finish, and best quality. Expensive but worth it.

Last polish I used Meguiars, but I am not sure it lasts as long as the Polyglaze I was using. Time will tell.

Meguairs is the best over-all mass market brand.. It's like the worst of the best or best of the worst..

I wouldn't touch Meguairs Wax with my 10 foot pole.. I use Zymol Cleaner Wax, all natural and leaves my car lookin like a damn mirror.

I clean the car from head to toe.. I use a high pressure hose to loosen the dirt and any other grime on the car. Full sponge bath.. Rinse off on low pressure..

Chamois dry..

Apply polish all over the car and then apply wax all over the car..

Whole process takes 3.5-4 hours, but results speak for themselves..

The bonnet was resprayed about a year ago.. So it's fairly fresh..

The other paintwork (everything but bonnet and guards) are 191,300km's old.. They used to look **** til I gave my touch to em..

is that tyre flat or what?

Completely flat. Like the tyre guage said 0..

The other ones were all at 38.. Since I pumped it up, no problems.. So probably not a slow leak..

But nice spot..
