Not a polish but a glaze, Prima Amigo. Fills slight imperfections and adds a great glossy depth to the paint. Darkens the colour so blacks look blacker. Best used by machine but can be used by hand. I absolutely love the stuff. You'll need to wax over it though as will not last more than a few days if you don't as it's not a sealant.

Same as Carl but different product, Poorboys Black Hole. My neighbout used it on his Carrera S when he had with brilliant results. Not a polish but a glaze, as it contains cleaners and fillers it hides swirl marks and leaves a really wet shiny finish. Best used with a machine polisher. He has gave me a loan if it and his machine polisher and today us the first chance i have had and it's raining There are loads of good products out there. Just have to find what works out best for you

T cut isn't a polish it removes particles of paint and should be used sparingly

Or not at all, it's terrible stuff especially if your not sure what your doing lol. It's pretty abrasive stuff. Only thing it would be good for is your rear badges if you want to take the paint off
