Happy to be of service in future PM me before you go and i'll help you out with the correct product/s for what you want to do.

So how much does the supreme polish sale for in vic ? Actually I have't seen that up here...

Sorry to be intruding your thread Jondarren, may be some relevance
One last thing Balck.. english essay for you.

"Waxing is redundant as Super Resin Polish has already overly beautified the car " Discuss in relations to Auto glym product, perhaps link to realvance of the thread.

From memory its ~$50 for a 1 litre bottle.

Thats a load.... every single car can and WILL benefit from a PROPER carnauba based wax.

Autogylm products are fantastic dont get me wrong and you can do away with waxing if you are cleaning your car every week using the three step (wash, super resin polish, extra gloss protection) but this becomes a very expensive proposition.

I wax my car with mothers carnauba wax once every 2-3 months and all that is necessary is for me to visit my local DIY car wash and i do the following:

1) place one dollar coin in slot and select high pressure soap spray.
2) spray car all over and switch to wheel cleaner and spray all rims quickly.
3) place second dollar in slot and select high pressure water
4) spray car and rims down
5) drive out and chamois dry

and if i feel generous i'll go over the car with super resin polish.

rinse and repeat once a week.

However returning to the relevance of this thread, The OP may find that if he uses UDS or the SP he may need to apply it 3-4 times to have a permanent deep glossy finish.

Super Polish would be next on the list : > Thanks for recommending.

Paint Renovator is a brilliant product, however they have a better product that is a all in one, its basically a combination of Paint Renovator (Pink Label), Super Resin Polish (Red Label) and Extra Gloss Protection(Gold Label), called Ultra Deep Shine (Black Label).

If you need alot try and get the trade pack of Supreme Polish(Purple Label) as it works out MUCH cheaper and is just about the stuff as the Ultra Deep Shine.

Fantastic info. I think i'll get myself a bottle of this and give it a go. If it's as good as it sounds, my faded red panels should be shining in no time. I was going to try a body colour wax but you've changed my mind.

Glad this thread can bring out the best in our cars paint!

Depending on how deep the scratches are, if they are any more than swirl/sponge marks i'd be trying meguiars scratch-x or mothers scratch remover. if they are very light swirl marks/sponge marks try Autoglym paint renovator.

when applying make sure you wipe front to back, not side to side or in circles as if there are scratches circular or side to side scratches are easier to see than front to back scratches.

cool, cheers for the tip. i think they are swirl marks, but they only seem to be on the bonnet. theres some scratch-x at home anyway so ill give that a go first, then ill get some autoglym renovator stuff. hopefully i can get some of them out.

got some piccies. Andrew was kind enough to lend me a bottle of paint renovator, and it worked a treat. I tried it on a small patch next too my rear number plate, as this shows the old paint from under the plate (in good nick) the worn old paint on either side. Pics speak for themselves although it is a bit hard to see. The small section I did only took a few mins to rub in.

before:


After:


Note; these aren't actual before and after, just pics of either side of the number plate holder, with approx half of the pic beinf the orig not worn paint and the other half untreated and treated paint respectively. This is easily evident in the first pic, but not so much the second. Which is what you want. Although on viewing again, it's not the best pic either.
