Default Gave mine a clean

I gave mine a clean befor the bolton abby meet, i used a buffer to apply the polish and then polished it off with a meguiars towl.

I used a variety of polishs and waxes. i washed the car using a neutral shampoo (joffs) so that it dosnt remove the existing layers of wax and polish.
Then i dryed the car off and began to polish it first using the jofs origional yellow blend carnauba wax, i used a buffor to put this on and then meguiars towl to polish off i did the whole car with this and then i used jofs classic top white blend carnuaba wax applyed and removed the same way as the origional wax (1st stage).
I then dressed the wheels, tyres, bump stripes and then gave the glass a wipe down.

This was the first time i used this product (jofs) and i think its done a good job, produced a deeper shine then my usual polish (autogleam ultra deep shine)

Here are pics:
