Cheers for the comments guys

Even yours Nizzy

Was fairly chuffed with the end results, hate Auto Glym tho, leaves powder residue

Took ages and ages to get it mark free. Bought this other stuff from Halfrauds (cant remember what, but is meant to be awesome), so will use that next time.

Dont wanna use it now incase it gets dirty again haha

Oh they are phone pics aswell, have a good digital camera but the battery is dead and didnt have time to charge it

Seriously, nice job

I like auto glym, thats what I use. I also clayed it with mcguires or something and it came up a treat. so much so that I fely embarrased for everyone else and drove it into a muddy bank just to dirty it up again.

Cheers bud

Might have just been the cloth i was using, but the amount of residue was hurrendous. Want to clay mine, will do it after i polish it again next time

Haha nothing worse than a muddy bank

Looks good.

I really don't like Autoglym stuff. Used to think it was great until I discovered all the American stuff. Those Americans may not be great at making cars, but they are good at making them shiny! I buy all my stuff from http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk Can't recommend them enough! Great products and great guides on the website. They'll also give you individual advice if you email them.

The routine they recommended for me when I had my Storm Titanium Elise is in this thread.

Some pics of the results on my old Elise (just with crappy 1 Megapixel camera phone) here.

If I can find the time this weekend and it stays dry, I'm going to be doing the full wash/clay/polish/sealant/wax job on my new Exige. You'd think a new car's paintwork would be perfect but the valet guy at MMC must have used a crappy old rag and the car is already covered in bloody swirl marks!!
