Any good motor factor mate, inc Halfrauds.
That should sort it, i doubt you'll need anything with more cut but try the AG first. Failling that youre gonna want some poorboys ssr 2.5.
Its really a machine polish but okay by hand if you work it hard enough to break down the polimers and used in small areas.

I've got no idea I've never done it myself, but a friend of mine tried it, and did it wrong, and scratched his car up big time. 
Mike has done my car, and my mini S and both came up supurb
I might try it on the landrover
I went out to OCW mine today, but by the 3rd squirt I was bored, so will wait for Mick on wednesday instead

Depends on how much you want done really. Anything from £20 - £1000
Miracle Detail http://www.miracledetail.co.uk/auto-detailing-home.html charge allot, but they spend days on the car.
With Big Mick, I usually get a wash, dry, hoover, plastics, glass, then a wax.
However when I did wash, claybar, lacro, glaze, nxt, yellow wax, paste wax, hoover, plastics, glass he was here for about 6-7 hours and it was £160! Ouch!

I'm trying to do it myself but I get bored very easy, and when you consider the purchase price of the RS, don't really mind spending out to get it looking good, and keeping the paint protected.

I may have this done soon, I have been told with fresh paint it is a good idea to get a good few coats of polish on it.
£160 though

£160 is cheap concidering the amount of hours and effort required to do what professional detailers do.
I couldnt afford to pay someone to do what i do to my car. Your paying for their knoledge, time and skills mate.
They have something you dont, hence the cost

Just checked the boot, and it was in there, sorry Si,
What has annoyed me more was that i washed my car a couple of days ago, and could have used a decent one.
Would you like me to send it to you
