I use Autoglymn Super Resin and Ultra Deep & I polish mine about once every 2 months in winter too.

In the summer it gets polished about once every 3 weeks.

If you're just waxing it then good.

Just don't use anything abrasive obviously.

Anyway, once you've got a good few coats of wax on, you shouldn't need to do anything other than wash and leather it for months if you've got good paint.

Spot on, in summer i will polish my car, then wax it. Then wash it 3-4 times then give it a wax, then wait 3-4 wash's before waxing it again!!

Wash mitts can be found on ebay, or i think halfords may do them! I use the meguirs one, does a great job!

I used to polish my corsa 3-4 times a week in the summer It was sunny and i had nothing else to do

options welcome...
