not like a colour magic type which is for the colour of your car, just some sort of neutral colour so i can see where i've been on my white scoob.

tried to do it quickly the other day and missed loads of bits catch it in the right light and it's a duller misted patch until you buff it off, but on the quick it's a right pain in the ****!

any products out there?

(and no-one say better glasses )

you just have to learn how to "spot" it faster

i normally have my head pretty much alongside the panel looking along it, which helps loads

Nothing I know of specifically, although some of the polishes currently available are stongly coloured and may help - Menzerna Final Polish II is purpleish in colour, so may be easier to spot, while the Poorboy's SSR's are well coloured, but not so good on hard Subaru paint.
