I did try Autoglym super resin polish before but it didn't give it as much of a wet look like the Poorboys did.

Srp is overrated and only used for a quick shine and to hide marks mostly used in car dealerships

I use DDJ blue velvet followed by DDJ SNH and often DDJ acrylic spritz.
Results are ping ding protects the car for a good few months. Top up washes every week.
Don't want to use anything with fillers, I need to give the car a full detail with my dual action (possibly replacing it) however the paint isn't too shabby.
Might try some Victoria wax next, definitely not using auto finesse I bought in to DDJ and it was innovative in a sense at the time with the marketing smells and decent results but I see AF as just jumping on the tail end of the DDJ wagon lol.

I used the 2 bucket method, dried it then used Dodo Juice Purple Haze when I had mine. Came up a treat.
