If you want a good shine and protection for your paintwork then wash the car with a good shampoo preferable choice is ph neutral, then towel dry. Next use a clay bar or even better now a clay cloth as this will remove a lot of contaminants you can't see which leaves the paintwork like glass, then a nice layer of polish, as said autoglym is very good, lastly a good wax which is easy on and off would be dodo juice light fantastic for silvers or whites ect or dodo juice purple haze for darker colours, then you will have a shiny and protected car to enjoy, plus the next time you clean her it will be a lot easier and shine with just a wash.

I bought some a few years ago when it first appeared on the market, was supposed the best thing since sliced bread. Must say was totally unimpressed with it and so have an almost full bottle sitting on a shelf in my garage gathering a lot of dust. :-[

Autoglym super resin polish is a good mix of results and cost. Then get a tin of Collinite 476, slap a couple of coats on... I kid you not, it lasts month. Perfect for lazy people like moi...
