Post Polish

I have a search through some previous threads, and found that a few people recommend the Polished Bliss products. Having looked at the site and the many types of polish available, what polish would you recommend for use on my car? (It is a black 02 STi if that makes a difference).

I must admit I am pretty new to the keeping a car clean routine. Normally any car in the past got washed at the local garage when it was desperately needed, however, seeing all the pics on here has shown me that my car could lookas good when it is that clean, so need some advice.

all very funny, but still doesn't help my car shine. Unless what you are suggesting is that I find a guy from Poland to polish my car for me.

When I had my black 54 WRX I used Swissol and it looked great, but you do pay a premium for it.

Meguiars is good and more affordable, full range stocked in halfords

Hope this helps

have a look on the Polised bliss site at the Blackfire polish ,and after the sealent . These are the best products I've used to date (and my garage is full of all different ones I've gone through over the years .)

Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish

Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish

Not cheap ,but you don't need to use much as it goes a long way .
