Default Best polish?

Now I understand that the paint finish on Subaru is soft, anyone recommend a particular polish for soft paint that they have used to good effect?

Autoglym hd wax, not cheap but the results are amazing, have a search for it on my username there's loads of pics of my Scoobyn and Porsche.

Dodo juice lime prime is a cleanser and light polish in one, have seen good results with that on a car cleaning forum, will try and find a link.

Make sure you clay it first
HD wax well rated can get on eBay etc for £25-£30
Srp good if you have lots of swirls for a quick fix
Must top it up with egp extra gloss protection to seal it
Halfrauds 3-2 at moment or best on line dealers
I use chemical guys £40 ish for 50/50 and backlight £20 2 coats underneath
Sealed over with V7 for £15
Check chemical guys for special package
Also I use cg glossworks shampoo it lasts for months for a small
Bottle and mine looks like its waxed every week

Of course swissol best of show is the ultimate but pricey

He does mention about soft paint so i'm guessing he wants to know which polish rather than wax.

Thats what i though but then peeps were talking waxes.

Ok for polish i use Poorboys SSR 1 with a white sonus pad, for more heavy scratches i may use SSR2.

For wax im a fan of Dodo supernatural.

On those I just used up some autoglymn super resin polish and topped up with extra gloss protection

They are due for a refurbishment this year as they are nine years old and are bubbling in places
