Default A good and easy polish

Just wondering what you guys recommended here, looking for a decent easy on easy of polish to use, something simple, not into claying or any of this expensive 3 stage stuff. I like collinite but that's a marine wax rather than a polish

Cheers

I use Prima Amigo polish followed by Collinite wax. Works beautifully together - a wonderful deep shine.

It used to be very good, but then became chalky and difficult to use. However, a capful in a bucket of water is still one of the easiest ways to shampoo and dry off a car, and it leaves a good beading finish.

I use this stuff, granted not a named product but it is easy to use gives excellent results and in the 5 litre can is very good value.

I use Autoglym Super Resin Polish followed by a top coat of Autoglym Extra Gloss Protector.

Here is a photo of the results.

Good grief, is Mer still available! I used to use that stuff back in the '80's. It was the height of car cleaning technology back then. Brilliant stuff it was. Car cleaning products have moved on since then though. . .
