You can't go far wrong with Autoglym either good products.
The Autoglym radiant was polish is great if you machine polish your car with it. Very quick and easy to use if just want to give your car a quick going over.

Detailing routine :

1. Pre wash : Megs All Purpose Cleaner/traffic film removal with pro's foam lance
2. Main Wash : Megs Shampoo Plus (value for money)
3. Claying : lubs : car shampoo on spayer bottle 1: 20. Clay : soft, medium, agressive. a lot of brand, sonus is good enough for beginner
4. Drying : Microfiber Drying towel
5. Polishing : Menzerna range + DA polishing gear
6. Sealant : Zaino system are greats
7. Wax : natural : zymol, swissvax, miglior, etc. man made : collinite 476s !!!!!!
8. Quick Detailing : Meguiars Last Touch

Couldn't help but notice no-one has mentioned any of the Dodo Juice Products.
I use Dodo Juice 'Supernatural' Premium Wax, it's £100 per tub but i've had that tub for over a year now, the only down side i'd say there is to this wax is that it is very hard to use, you have to stick it in the microwave for about 30sec to get it sofened up to use right on the car. but the shine it gives is unbelievable.

Naviwax/Nubawax is a good wax to use aslwell

I'd need someone to give me the £100 before I tried that. There are also some pretty expensive Zymol products around.

I guess you get what you pay for but I'm sure there are plenty of "snake oils" out there!

I think I mentioned it in the thread earlier but I'm confident that for the money you will not do better than Collinite 476s or 910 as a wax.

i have been looking at the autoglym hd polish as it looks quite good
i use the hd wax at the min and that is very good just a bit dear for a little tub

For a new car or a recently repainted car, I would use only Carnauba wax based polish, for an old faded- but sound condition finish, I would use rubbing compound to remove the dead paint, a thorough wash, and then a few coats of any good quality polish.
