I have bought the Armour All just haven't used it yet. Think my dealer had put a coat of wax on already.

Tekna CVT 1.6 Magnetic Red - born 4/4/14 P/X 25/10/2015 for £19k with 12,000 on the clock - great car but time to change. No problems whatsoever in those 18 month's.

Super resin polish is good, not a bad finish on dark colours, can be a bit dusty when pollished off but easy to apply and buff by hand. If not there's one called black light made by poor boys I think that's had good reviews

Hi ImyI have the same colour. I have used Autoglym for years and have found it to be very good. I had a Volvo convertible in silver. I used Autoglym on that and was always polishing it with the resin polish followed by the extra shine coat afterwards. Someone 'keyed' the car in the leisure centre car park. Fuming, I decided to polish it to see what would happen. Unbelievably the paint was not damaged. The Autoglym had built up such a coating that all was damaged was the polish. I am about to try the deep shine one shown on an earlier post. If you have access to Autoglym products easily, I don't, then their tyre dressing is very good. Not the one in the spray bottle. It comes in a 5 litre can and you paint it on with a paint brush. It is a liquid rubber sort of thing. Looks brilliant and lasts for ages. Not cheap, but well worth the moneyI am using the Autoglym Resin polish here and apart from the white dust issue, which is not as bad as say Turtle Wax, it is working very well.
