Those are very nice cars, great effort. Had the challenge extended to include Stilo's I would have given you both a run for your money and I've got three years on you both

For all those shiny car people, do you still have swirl marks and light scratches after you've polished and waxed your car?
I'm so annoyed with all the swirl marks and scratches that have appeared on my sporting (red) from the day I picked it up last year!

to all that display their cars on this thread as all good waxes polish is used all are of the same quality none really stand above any as far as waxes or polish go of use is has a lot to do with it and elbow grease it's all to do with lighting and the camera used,shaded areas and indirect light are the best conditions to take photos in: a semi wooded area with indirect light is the best bright sun light being the worst,ideally its a showroom that beats them all..........

I have to agree with this. Over the years I have used various polishes including Maguires Gold Class, Autoglym both super resin and extra deep shine and also with extra gloss finish as well as numerous other less well known brands, and to be perfectly honest the results are not that much different. I did buy an electric polisher and found that gave a very good shine but its a bit of a hastle using it so don't really bother too much.
and use a circular polarising filter on the camera to dial out any unwanted reflections x

sorry, i dont agree with your comments about all the waxes being the same, that is simply not true! some £2.99 stuff is not going to be as good as some zymol products that can cost upto £4k for a pot, some are even more! not that i would ever pay that, but it still remains! a decent wax will protect for alot longer than a cheaper version, collinite for example has been proven to last after one coat for up to 6-7 months, and auto glym EGP will seal the finish and protect for a similar amount of time. where as for instance some cheap wax from wilko's will last probably two weeks. i agree its how you use the product that will creat the best result for the product, but all waxes aren't the same, neither is all the polishes, sealers, cleaner waxes etc etc etc...
as for the swirls, using a wash mitt and the two bucket method following a good rinse/jet washing will obviously help, but still won't guarentee a swirl free result. you will need to buy a PC (porter cable) or similar to remove the swirls and light scratches and then carry on using the two bucket method to keep them to a minimal. the GP paintwork is very soft, so even pressing on too hard with a MF Towel can create marks and scratches.
