All depends on how deep your pockets are, zymol is awesome but comes at a price, but if your not looking to spend much you cant go past AG SRP or the poorboys stuff imo

It doesn't matter how much you spend, wether its £13.95 on Poorboys or £17.95 on Zaino it's all about your preparation work on the paint.

I used to use AG Super Resin Polish and Tech Wax on my Saxo but since owning my C2 ive started using Dodo Juice and i think thats the best one.
