OK, you all (or long-term residents do) know that I am not one of nature's polishers / detailers.
I wash the car quite frequently using a microfibre mitt and Autoglym shampoo, but that's as far as it goes.
Now I want to pick the brains of the assembled experts on what I do with my, new-to-me, S-Type Jaguar in Dark Blue Metallic. It's quite close to the colour of my late lamented FRP
The paintwork is superficially ok, and the car's next stop will almost certainly be the scrapyard in five to ten years time (It's 2004).
In the interim
1) Is there a one-pass magic glop to get a very quick and very shiny look that may not last long, but has impact for a week or so?
2) If I really pushed the boat out and went to a two stage polishing binge, what would be the suggestion for something longer lasting, even if it didn't have the initial impact.
I don't want to buy any kit, so please don't suggest machine polishers.
Alternatively, if anyone needs detailing practice and fancies a trip to Norfolk there would be an endless supply of food and beer available.
TIA
