The point of using a machine polisher is to remove swirls and minor scratches.
how long it stays shiny is down to the products and the great english weather, but ones a car has had a full details with the right products it will be a lot easier to keep it like that.

I think Leckie is an Autoglym man, nothing over the top. He just keeps it clean through out the week so when he does clean it the car comes up allot better.
Do less more when cleaning

Thats the cheating way of getting good reflections.
I can get reflections like that on my knob with a bit of lynx bodywash and a deep angle

anyone can get good reflection pics from a steep angle against the paint work.

I disagree, you can't get a good reflection off of a pinhead.
