Question Which Turtle Wax colour Magic for WR Blue?

Does anyone know which Turtle Wax Colour Magic is the best match for a WR Blue Impreza?

I previously owned a Black car and despite using Autoglym & Mer found Turtle Wax Colour Magic was the best at hiding minor scratches/swirls.
Halfords stock light and dark blue Colour Magic but I'd say WR Blue is somewhere in the middle of the two.
Has anybody used it and worked out which is the closest match?

Use the black you have, I do, you don't see the blue dusty powder that the blue polish leaves behind.

Have you not tried the maguiars 3 stage system ?
basically

stage one removes all the road film,light swirls etc

stage two gives the paint work a really rich deep gloss and feels as smooth as our lass's ****

stage three finish's it all off with a nice coat of canubria wax,repel's rain etc

very popular stuff around the scoobynet world,I re-do my sti every couple of months and the results are truely stunning,such a deep gloss and soooooooo smooth,even under the "spring sunshine" which tend's to show up all the swirly remnents of winter washing,this stuff really come's into it's own

total price for the three stage is about £25 from your local halfrauds

Use either blue, they both work well.

Used Mer and Auto Glym too . . For my Blue . .Well . .Autoglym really needs to be applied only once a or twice a year tops . .But for regular protection, I would suggest p21s . . That stuff is King, and whoops turtle wax!

Have to say used Turtle Wax products for years until I saw Megulars products so highly spoke of on here. Bought some and would not polish my bike with Turtle Wax now. Its utter crap compared to Megulars gear. done my WR blue STI this afternoon and its covered all the minor scratches and swirls that were there. Well impressed!!!

Dont waste your time with colour magic, its such a stupid gimmick.

IMHO Meguirs is overpriced ****, if you want to use a Retail product use Zymol.. Other go to a auto finish supplier and ask their advice, they will give you some products you didnt even know existed and blow any of this off the shelf rubbish out of the water.
