Looking real good, did you ever consider black with a silver flake in it just out of interest?

I did look at a few of the BMW metallic blacks and one or two are stunning I was considering going along those lines but the problem for me is you have a black car until the sun shines.and I wanted a more fun type of colour, I sometimes think I should have been a bit braver and gone for the sakhir orange,
 
I was to busy at work to anything done yesterday but managed 2 hours today, kitted up and fitted the back bumper, I also started to clean the splash guards, thought I'd give them a good going over whilst they where out, did one and got board so did a bit of tinkering again, I'm looking forward to Saturday as then when its getting a machine polish, it will be done twice, once with a course mop and compound and then mopped with a finishing mop and compound, it will also be hand waxed to seal it. Whats the best wax out there guys, the stuff we use is silicon free due to the environment.

Best or not (opinions vary) but I use Autoglym High Definition Wax on to of Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection on top of Autoglym Super Resin Polish. Oh, and I think it does s great job ;)

Collinite 476S is the best, you can buy the liquid version to use with the mop its called Collinite 845, both are really good and easy to work with, and 1 application will last 12 months, I always do two coats, and when its raining your the only one with a dry car as the water just cannot get a foot hold.
 
There are many choices for polish, wax, sealant etc.

It's a toss up between finish and durability.

I like zymol products, but I have a good few others.

When you talk durability do you mean lasts one day? Just trying to put it in perspective sir...
