Polish needs a decent base, remove them and it`ll look 10000000 times better.

But Meguiers Gold Class I've used and it was really good.
Autoglym leaves a chalky residue, but I recon yours would do well from a damn good claying.

But again will make your job tedious with the stickers, and best off removing them. If it was a rally slag and always dirty then fair enough, but you got the cleaning bug now.

Should see the price on the expensive stuff You do get free refils on the Swissvax stuff though so its a bargain

Autoglym HD wax will be fine Ceri Or you can try my Meguiars spray wax. Done a good job on mine.

I wish there were free refills on Swissvax! Zymol do that.. (well, when they say 'free' what they mean is £200 for 'pot cleaning' and registered delivery to the states)

Lots of great waxes around in the £30-40 bracket though... dodo, britemax, autobrite, autosmart, autofinesse. And on a white car sealants such as Autofinesse tough coat for £19.95 are hard to beat

(http://www.autofinesseuk.com/index.p...&product_id=72)

.. I have some £4 sample tubs of Dodo here as well.
