Not sure have you ever heard Clearkote, simliar to the SRP but it gives much wetter look, great for the light coloured car. Let me know if anyone of you are interested, i have some left.
I spent over 1000pounds trying this and that when i was in UK, including some ridiculously expensive waxes (2000HKD for a small tube of wax)
I will give this a try some day

Autoglym SRP is pretty good stuff, what it does is hiding most of the swirls by its custom blended resins, however, the swirls will come back and it wont last long. Topping SRP with sealant or Wax is recommended as SRP is a polish and not a wax.

3M clay bar is great stuff! unlike other brands which need to be used with quick detailer to provide the lube for the clay, it can use plain water alone to provide enough lube for the clay bar, great stuff and recommended.
thank u guys for the input, will go shop around for the detailing stuff later.

with the collapse of those ibanks, I am sure those worldwide well known business schools (HBS, Stanford, Sloan, etc) are much more difficult to get into this year.
