I'm going go for original turtle wax as I think it's the best thing for car paint work and I've used it before so know what it does now :stupid: protects and keeps the shine :signLOL:

Woah there. Things have moved on a bit.
Autoglym Super Resin Polish then a good wax, Autoglym HD is very easy to use.
Use microfibres.
I guarantee you'll get twice the finish and protection that you would with Turtle Wax.

I have micro fibre cloths lime green blue

You can go silly with wax, but the Autoglym HD stuff I mentioned is excellent. £40 a tub which lasts ages. Easy on and off. Mix of carnauba and synthetic.
But the finish after the wax will only be as good as the finish you attain after the polish. Autoglym SRP is very good. Contains fillers so works on microscopic scratches that dull paintwork. It can get chalky, so microfibres help.
Better still would be a machine polish.
Then seal it up with the wax.
