Also, thanks to the lovely people at Megs UK, it'll be here in time for the weekend.

Looking at the chart I realised that (because I've always been trying to tackle swirls, scratches and the like) I mainly had products in the middle of the chart (except for #7 show car glaze, which I've never had much luck with).

Hopefully now, my products shelf will be a bit more balanced.

Chris,

you should have saved your dosh and gone for the Ultima range from Autopia - I've used all of the other products you list, and Ultima blows them all away - worth the extra few quid.

Here on my '98 Guards Red 986 so you can get an idea of the deep colour and gloss using the PC of course.
