Well after lots of good advice from helpful people on here, i purchased some kit and have just spent the last five hours or so cleaning my car inside out.
I have posted some pics to see what you guys think.
I started off with a turtle wax shampoo and wash, followed by AUTO GLYM car glass polish on the windows (which i thought was superb).
I then used super resin polish on tyhe bodywork, and brought a nice shine to my previously blackend exhaust with some metal polish.
After that and 8 cans of iron brew i felt like giving up, but applied some poorboys Sealant EX P and removed with lambswool mitt. Had to take this off straight away because it was sunny, but it says you get deeper shine if left longer. I could barely lift my arm after that and kept switching the mitt from right to left hand.
I then put on the final coating ( natty's blue wax) which smells like 1p bubblegums. The final act was to touch up the black around the wing mirrors and rubber (which i gave up on, as i kept getting it on paint)
I then stood back and was extremely pleased with the outcome, when people say the blue wax leaves a 'Deep wet look' they're not kidding.
So a big thankyou for all the advice given by people.
