Your right lozz i need to do it myself.
£25 should be enough to get a good polisher.

all you need to do is keep on top of it,
get a good couple of coats of wax on it and then it will look after its self.

ipolish mine once or month 2 or 3 coats of polish and then just handwash it every 2 3weeks it looks like its been polished everytime its been washed then .
but this Greased lightning stuff takes out all the graft as you can get the stuff on the plastic and glass and it dont matter,
Maybe im getting lazy :roll:

id also recomend having a tub of t cut colour match too,
all the blue cars ive had tend to show all the little stone chips /marks after being polished
colour match is good for masking them

I do keep the interior as clean as possible the outside im not too good at.
The bootlid, bumper, and that door will need repainted, and there is a few small dings that need sorted, if they were fixed then id take more care of the bodywork.

you mean that passat?

some polish people are driving it, i dont know much else about them.
Apart from the fact a number of them about 6 were in the garden of my dads house, which has a sizeable wall around it, they soon got chased.

Although there is many different fonts available over here.
