Hopefully this works

Great pic Geezer , nice looking car . As monkey and Kev said its all about getting someone to prep your car :eek: oops getting your car prepped correctly then build up the layers , I have found using the high gloss show products give the best finish but they need to be reapplied ever 4/6 weeks so it depends whether you want a wax that will last 6/8 months but may not have the depth of shine as one that has to be redone every 4/6 weeks.
Mine gets wash and snowfoam every week and finished with a quick detailer , every 6 weeks it gets the same but is finished with a polish or wax and twice a year it gets a machine polish to remove the swirls and marks that happen if you drive it regularly.

Currently my favourite product is Iwax given to me by carrera monkey

very nice stuff and easy to apply panel at as time ( so my detailer tells me) :grin: :grin:
 
Thanks for the advice everyone it is genuinely greatly appreaciated.

The spec is decent it has:

Sports Chrono
Heated seats
Paddle steering wheel ( I brought that separate)
Brand new Michelin PS2s and full geo

Question with heated seats? How hot do they go,mine peak at luke warm same with passenger seats.

Well mine dont burn your bum like my range rover ones do but warm enough to feel it. :thumb:
 
Lovely car mate. Congrats. I've been using the Autoglym stuff for the last 3 years and it's fine. I bought one of those multi pack jobs that have the basics to get you going. As others have suggested the result depends on the early hard yards. Technique of washing your car also assists in minimizing swirl marks. Wash the car in stripe movements rather than circular motion, this limits swirl marks. As a guide imagine your car is wet and you're doing a decent speed, and replicating the water moving on your car with the kit. It's worked a treat for me.

Thank you
 
Its lovely! Worth waiting for the pics!

CM knows his stuff!

Mines black, and my regime is, autoglym snow foam prewash, autoglym 2 bucket wash, Bilberry wheel cleaner, Gtechniq towel dry.

Poorboys black hole glaze polish followed by poorboys sealant, for black cars its a fantastic deep gloss finish.
