Wet look on a black car
Would like to get that wet look you see on some black or dark coloured cars.
Normal hand polishing just does not do it for me. Any tips in lay mans terms for a beginner like me would be gratefully received. Rog

I clean Alison with All Purpose Cleaner, clay her, compound her, polish, then wax her and end up with this result. Takes all day however I enjoy doing it. I'd wait until it warms up before trying it. Polish won't go off if it's too cold. I do this twice a year. Good luck and please show us the results!

Apart from using the Autoglym Extra Gloss Protector as a top coat, I use Autoglym Shampoo and Conditioner for washing and Autoglym Super Resin Polish or sometimes I use Autoglym Aquawax, I find the products give a really good finish

It is worth trying out as it is very quick and easy to use and contains Carnauba wax. As per their video: I was very pleased with the results when I used it.

I use it regularly in between full polishes and waxes. It is quick, beads well, lasts quite a while and, above all else, it smells absolutely gorgeous
