very nice steve, is this very abrasive? do you need to use it gently or can you be as rough as you want with it?

Looks good mate. Try Klearkote Vanilla Moose Glaze before the P21, I always do this on my missus silver Zetec-S and its a superb finish.

I keep saying il upgrade to something of higher quality like that but never get round to it. Do you see visably better results or just better protection and easier aplication?
Although I need to get a newer car that would warrent some decent wax first
