   We have that brand in our Sainsbury's car park; they only charge £5 to wash my car

Hand or machine polishing?
For hand polishing I'd recommend Megs 3step, but substitute the 3step wax with Nxt gen tech wax. I also like Autoglym SRP for hand polishing, but I dislike AGs sealant, so would recommend something different.

For machine polishing I'd recommend Menzerna for polishing followed by a sealant or wax of your choice.

It would be hand polishing for me, the 3 step would include the clay bars?

[magnul]

The 3 step system includes 1)Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner, 2) Deep Crystal Polish and 3)Deep Crystal Carnauba Wax (as mentioned I suggest replacing 3 with Nxt gen tech wax.
The clay bar is a separate step between washing and paint cleaning. I strongly recommend it.

And I thought a bit of "Fairy Liquid" in a bucket, with a sponge, followed by a rinse with the hose, then a quick chamois, finishing off with AutoGlym.. was all that was needed

Anyone at the Lakes giving lessons in this "black art"

Thats far too hard work for Ljay - she just waits till it rains, and puts some bubblebath on the roof  

She is the only person I know who can wash a car, and it dooks dirtier when she has finished than before she started

Go to the Autoexpress website where they product test polishes and that will let you know the best and easiest one to use

Brilliant links thanks for that.

The dangers of reading those links is that you'll end up buying a polisher (or two, one DA and one rotary) and spend the rest of your money on polish and pads;)
