It's the best paint product hands down for dark coloured cars!
Recommend one for silver cars please? :)

Your polo is always going to be the best cleaned polo I've seen. I'd love to see it in the flesh. I dunno how you have the patience like.

Thanks emma!

I haven't experimented with light paint really, but something in the Dodo range like diamond white would be a good bet!

I should be going to Edition38? Get yourself to that!

I'd say if it's never had a proper detail (machine polish correction), it'll need it!

Silver doesn't benefit so much though :(

Did you machine polish this with the stuff you listed or did you do it by hand this time? also i take it you used the clay followed by the wax followed by the glaze?

No it's just a glaze, masks imperfections (minor swirls etc) and adds a real deep shine. Honestly, the results are night and day.

The collinite acts as the protective coat, it drys rock hard beads water beautifully.

I have Klasse AIO polish and sealant also, but have got into a routine where I don't really need it. I glaze after every wash. And wax once every two months.
