ive tried it mate,
its good but it dosent leave that wet look if you know what imean,

this Greased lighting you just squirt it all over the car no messing with it saves doing the plastic afterwards too,
its expensive tho :(

Hi mate, are you looking for a polish or a wax? They are different things, the AG Super Resin is an excellent product, but it's first and foremost a polish. A polish is abrasive and designed to remove paint defects, swirl marks and paint oxidisation. A polish is not for regular use, otherwise you might end up with little to no paint on your car! Albeit AG Super Resin is a very mild polish. A wax is for finishing and protecting the paintwork, it has no cleaning ability.

For a full treatment I usually go:

Normal wash
Clay bar
Polish if required
Sealant (a though, semi permanent synthetic wax), AG Super Resin is good.
A carnauba finishing wax, I currently use a Meguirs product.

I usually do this once a year, the sealant keeps it good, with the odd top up with a normal wax. I cut a little square out of a clean sponge and apply the product sparingly, then buff off with a micro fibre.
