   As above wanting to get a good polish for my silver saxo. Don't have a machine polisher so will be applying by hand.
   
   Currently use autoglym super resin polish but I understand that it is just a filler and doesn't remove swirls/ scratches.
   
   Had a look on clean your car and seen poorboys white diamond glaze. Is this a better alternative or is this the same sort of thing.
   Also it's a glaze so is this something you would apply after polish but before sealant?
   
   Same goes with wax what do you use? Seen that some people use Collinite 476 is that the best to use for the price?

   okay thanks I'll have a look into that wax.
   
   I find I can get the car to look pretty shiny with the products I use but I can probably get it better.
   
   What polish do you use? or used when you was doing it by hand?

   white diamond topped with FK1000p for light colour cars for me
   
   this is the dark version of white diamond (black hole) on a black car, obvs isnt a permanant way to get rid of swirls and they come back, but wow it makes a difference!
