Get yourself some AG Shampoo or Megs Gold Class shampoo mate. Will be miles better for your paintwork than fairy liquid 
Liking the black painted bit on the rear bumper though. Looks nice!

Looks nice pal, but go for some car shampoo, always leaves my car looking gleaming then finish it off with a nice polish.

fairy liquid?? lol get yourself some car shampoo. the fairy liquid will strip the protection from the paint.
turtle wax isnt the best either. have a look on clean your car and you will find good products and they arent the expensive either

Fairy liquid i would only use for de greasing the engine bay ( If that ) It has salt in it so kind of gritty for your car paintwork and very harsh, Get some megs gold class, Good starter
