Default best way of tarting it up

basically im a bit stuck as to what to do with the sax with regards to cleaning it, i ve done a search but cant get a definitive answer.

im always out cleaning it and polishing it (even the neighbours are startin to make comments )but it never seams to come up as tidy as show cars and stuff ive seen.

is there any way of getting a similar effect?? i dont wanna spend loads on polishes cus im kinda convinced they wont work, also how do people hide small scratches and scuffs that seem to collect ever day

yeah show cars have like 9 inches of lacquer on them mate!

honestly, a really good shine comes from spending money on decent products. I recommend Zaino Z-PC for removing swirls, topped up with a coat of Zaino Z-5 and Gloss enhancer.

Autoglym SRP has some good filler properties which can help hide some swirling, but you'll need to seal it or it only lasts a week or so
