Dodo Juice do a range of waxes desinged for the colour of your car. Plus they smell delicious!

iirc they don't actually make any difference between the range of products.

If I were you I'd give it a good polish first, then use a suitable sealant and hard wax like collinite on a white saxo. Worked well on mine

Get tore in with a good polish, its crazy the difference youll get in a white Saxo.

When Stuart bought mine, he took it up the road and cleaned it with Jif lol. Ill give him this... it came up amazing!

But fuck the Jif/Cif, a good polish and then a decent wax. As said above, waxes are not colour dependent, its just marketing blurb

You can get some decent results fairly easily. Some buy £££ lambs wool mits and some really expensive polish. They do work, but if you walk around the cars at a show it is somewhat placebo as you cant tell which were polished with what.

What condition is the paint in at the moment?

The paint round the top of the door is horrible. It looks scratched but I haven't really inspected it much as its an on going project. Is in the body shop till the weekend so will be getting a good wash when I get it back. Then il be able to see the condition of the paint properly without it bein covered in dirt
