I've just washed my Yellow Fiat Punto for the first time this year.. snow foam, rinse, hand micro fibre wash with shampoo.. rinse.. then gone over all of it with a Clay Cloth Mit, using water and some shampoo + some detail spray as a lubricant.
Car looks well shiny already just from that after I rinsed it all off and dried it witha large micro fibre towel.

My front wing I've had to to a rust repair.. filler, sanding it , primer and spray. So I've gone over just the wing this evening with my DA Pro polisher and quite a strong compound to cut it back after the rattle can spraying
All I acn say is wow..... just from that with no wax etc the wing is well smooth and glossy. My car is on a 52 plate.... once I go over the whole lot with the DA, then polish it up it'll look great....... ready to sell

It depends if the car is a light or dark colour.

On my white car I use the Carlack acrylic kit (replaced the Werkstat range).
On my black car I use a Blackfire wax.

ring AngleWax, direct. tell them you need it asap.

It's good stuff, i have a 5litre tub, then dilute it into a 1litre spray bottle. if you ring them you may be told that they were the original developer of it and how anther competitor 'copied' it. Same with the wax Desirable.

yeah, one a year I'll use AngelWax DRIFT http://www.angelwax.co.uk/?wpsc-product=drift on my white car, then use Desirable over the rest of the year.
Drift is quite thick to apply, but does lose slight swirl marks.
Desirable is just a pleasure to apply and rub off.

That backfire wax is good, i had a sample sachet of it once. But it is pretty expensive. How long does a tub last you?
