So you’ve spent the day scrubbing every corner. Cleansing every bit. Towel drying to within an inch of your life but you still find water marks, pitting if you will. You know all to well waxing is the only man for the job but do you go for a quick fix like turtle wax or auto glym or the time option that is original paste based wax like simonize? Opinions please. My car is waiting.....

I always drop the car down to these lads back home to get it waxed if I decide to do it, always have a fear I'll wreck the car

Agreed. Better finish though. Five hours hard Labour.

There’s a place near me but sometimes the solo effort is a reward.

I'd never use a chaimos or a towel to dry off a vehicle, you'll still have water Mark's

Use a descent wash&wax and buy yourself a car blo dryer

This way you won't scratch the paint

And have a factory Finnish every time.

Mr Sheen furniture polish. I've used it on my cars and motorbikes for years.

Easy to apply and remove and leaves a streak free finish.

Can to used on paint, chromes, plastics and glass except windscreen.

Do. Get the old yellow Matt tin of Simonize. Warm the tin in hot water. Get two mutton cloths. One to apply. One to remove the surplus and a microfibre cloth to buff. Don’t let the wax dry. Do a square foot at a time and overlap. It takes time but the finish is like wet paint. Well worth it.

Chrome maybe but I’d be nervous of a reaction on the paint with sunlight.
