I have a 12v polisher form Halfords and....
...I want to get sparkle out of my Royal Blue Tourer.
I'm on a budget so: What should get to cut it back? And what should I do then? PS: Couple of years ago I used Tesco Daisy and Tcut (by hand) followed by Turtle wax on my White Gold Tourer. It made a massive difference but it took all weekend. |

Well they aren't great shakes (either of them) at really going to town in a professional style: but they will help speed things up and make it a little easier. Be ready for taking the weight and holding either against the car sides especially below the (car's) waist line.
A simple suggestion would be to follow a single manufacturer system like this one Meguiars deep crystal 3 step system. I've used the Meguiars on my Starlight silver and it does pretty well. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Meguiars-De.../dp/B002W6C6NE (N.B this is not a recommendation for Amazon)

Cheers for that. Would you still recommend washing in Tesco Daisy first??

Off to the shops in a few days to buy the Maguires stuff. Would a clay bar be a useful addition? and would it be best to use it after step 1?
