Polish and wax are two different things. Polish first, then wax.

You'll get lots of opinions, but for me (Tornado Red) Autoglym SRP followed by Autoglym HD Wax is decent.

Only criticism is for the SRP. It can get a bit chalky taking it off especially if it's hot and sunny. There's a knack to it.

HD Wax is top stuff though, can't fault it.

Another vote for Ag HD wax here
Have tried few others such as poorboys nattys blue paste, dodo juice etc and keep going back to the Hd stuff, just so durable and easy to work with plus a £28 tub seems to last forever
One of best performers in the big wax test thread on here in 2012 too (6 months)

As for polish the new formula autoglym super resin polish is goid these days but personally prefer Autobrite extreme glaze polish

I really need to remove the swirls/cobwebs from my paint, and I will be using a rotary with a mixture of menzerna and 3m compounds then probably go over with poorboys black hole glaze rather than a polish, then I either use odk glamour or Victoria concours. Both waxes are extremely easy on/off and both give excellent results

Menzerna polishing compounds with DA polisher work well for me.

Before this, I used Augoglym SRP, Meguiars Ultimate compound (for swirls) and Meguiars Polish on top.

Colinite 476s is the best wax / sealant ever. 6months of water beading  :drool:
