At last a sunny day! I did a full detail week ago and couldn't get any shiny pics.
After a week of everyday driving around the car got dirty so I washed it today and added a layer of wax.

Products used:
1. AutoGlym Super Resin Polish (a week ago)
2. AutoGlym Liquid Hardwax (Same as Extra Gloss Protection - a week ago)
3. Presta/Malco Aqua Gloss (A wet wax, used when drying the car)
4. Presta Best Wax (Carnauba based)
5. Presta Spray'N Shine (A quick detailer)
6. Turtle Wax Silver Chrome (for exhaust tips)
7. AutoGlym Instant Tyre Dressing



I'm not a photographer, I just snap on !
Pick your favourite!

ps. It's a non-sport car, and for now it stays non-sport.
