Daytona has to be one of the best colours to shine up like a mirror, More of a compromise than black too as black seems to show pall the dust after a few minutes of driving when clean.

 

I must get around to giving my car a full machine polish as it's yet to have had anything other than hand wax up to now.

Daytona as you say is a good comprimise i would of liked to of tried this Werkstat Acrylic on my old Daytona RS3 as the finish I'm getting on Glacier White are the best I've ever had on any car dripping wet and mirror finish, i could brush my hair in the reflection{ if i had any}. :20:

I use mine daily and also quite a lot of motor way travel, hence probably why the stone chips.

Very nice A18 KNY :-)

I need to find this acrylic stuff too it looks the stuff, I have mentioned before I use Meguiars and find it great and they have just brought out a new white/ light coloured wax,,,, not sure if im brave enough to use a polisher as ill prob get it to the bare metal.... I have seen comments about  iron x stuff is this any good / do I need it on the paint yet or is it a gimmick ?

Iron x is good, i use it alot, good for iron deposits and i find it really good on wheels especially when i take them off and do in the back. Cant go wrong with it either. It surprises you the amount of sh*t you find on the car after you think its clean
