Just gave my black saxo a mini detail/valet and was just wondering what people suggest I do next?
So far I have done:
1.Rinse
2.Snowfoam
3.Wash and rinse
4.Dry
5.Machine polish with autoglym medium compound
6.Machine polish with autoglym fine restorator polish
7. Polish with poor boys black hole
8. Clean windows with meguiars nxt generation window cleaner
9. And also apply meguires tyre shine
So what do people think I should do next, I'm looking for a decent wax that will give a good shine and bead. I'm also looking for something that will help my wheels look shiny and also protect them from brake dust/ make them easier to clean.
Can anyone recomend any products that I should buy? Or extra thing I should do?

the wheel ones good but a lot of people use a wax underneath it i can't remmeber the though i would have to find it!
I use dod juice wax personally just cos of the smell but the natty paste looks deent for the price.

I'd have decontaminated (using IronX) and thoroughly clayed the paint and glass before machining personally as that gets a fair bit of crap off when I do mine 6 monthly - if it's never been done before that should make a big difference tbh.

Gtechniq do a wide range of sealants for paintwork, wheels and glass so that be worth a Google - it can get pretty pricey though unfortunately! :S

It makes life alot easier If u keep on top of waxing ur wheels swell as the shell. Less shit sticks to them. But watch with strong wheel acids if u use them, causes the laqure to rot n flake, before u know it ur wheels are caked in shit that doesn't come off. Just keep on top as u would with the shell
