Thanks Russ

I have had the opportunity to get into spending the time researching and using clay-bars etc next stage for me is waxing so hopefully Brett will be able to shine some light in what direction i should head in, in regards to the product choice and process.

Just tried the autoglym shampoo - pretty impressed with it. What is the process now after washing it? Is it wash-dry-polish-wax?

Correct.
After wax I then do Auto Glym Rubber and Vinyl Care and Fast Glass.

I have tried maguires and Kitten waxes - Havnt been happy with either.

Im going to clay my Ford - Its 15 or so years old and has never been done so that might be why i get horrid results..
