I pamper mine with, auto glym deep shine and extra gloss wax/sealant. Really really happy with the results and the paint work is super smooth because of it. If you've not done it for a whole I'd recommend using a claybar kit first, this will help with the removing of dirt and grease before starting off to get a nice base to start with.

Now this claybar business sounds laborious lol

Only way to get the grim & dirt out of the paint without the aid of a machine polisher

tardis is a tar remover - reduces claying effort by dissolving tar spots. IPA = isopropyl alcohol used to clean out stone chips prior to filling with new paint (wet sanding method).

Never had a saffy but I did have a "sunlit copper" nissan which is roughly the same colour. Megs Nanotech wax made it look very nice.
