Which polish
Folks,
Tried using search before anyone comments, but it doesn't really seem to be working.
However, which polish does everyone use. I'm after a good polish, but I don't want to have to spend hours waxing/buffing etc.
Also don't want to have to spend huge amounts of cash on said polish.
So, in sumary, a good polish, not too expensive, and doesn't require vast amount of time applying but gives a superb finish!
And for a car before any more clowns make unecessary posts
Thanks,
Shaun

Zymol cleaner wax from Halfords m8.
Best stuff I have ever used and I've spent loads on wax before. This stuff is great at removing slight swirls and scratches and gives a long lasting wax finish in one.
Dipster.

Two good ones are Vanilla Moose from Clearkote and Meguiars NXT.
Top one of these with a heavy carnuba wax to further hide swirls such as Meguiars#16 paste wax.
Or just machine polish

poorboys ex and p21s by far the best value for money polish and wax you can get and the poorboys you can use in direct sunlight without it smearing-as meguiars does.

Anyone use an electronic buffer? Does the wax type make a difference?
