Is a good clay for beginners. Use with some watered down shampoo or a lube such as born slippy.
http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polish.../prod_166.html
for the polish
http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/glazes.../prod_494.html
for the glaze
and

for the wax.
Then over the top of the wax with

job done.

Follow the guides on here mate. all starts with a decent washing method and a good clay.

then a good correction by machine/by hand if you don't have one then a good glaze then polish then a good wax.

have a look on www.cleanyourcar.co.uk you will find everything you could possibly need on there.

or pay wadoryu to do it he knows his shit.

i will do it for you at a good price done some nice cars in the past use dodo juice or meguires and if you can afford it go for swissol, depending on how bad the paint work is you should be able to do it by hand by using clay bar, pre wax cleanser and a carnuba wax wont cost too much
