Without spending a stupid amount, I can't really fault the AutoGlym stuff.
Give it a good wash with some of the shampoo in the water (green labelled stuff), a good shammy, then the super resin polish (red label) and finally the extra gloss protection (cream label) - should be looking spangly after that lot
