   We have a large number of detailers on here, and none use T-cut.
   Advice is always welcome but it's one of those subjects that stirs up so many arguments it's unreal.

    Good question, you would benefit from a all rounder wax such as chemical guys butter wet wax

    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.
