And also, it doesnt show little marks etc, which is one of my pet hates but cant be avoided if you plan on driving the car

If I win the lottery, a full body respray in BLACK!!!!!!!!

1 Grand Blitz Wax is good stuff; it's what I used on my blue 75. Does your friend have their Omega Glaze too? That would prep the paint nicely for the wax.

No, he's VERY old fashioned - wash it then wax it; none of this new fangled stuff!!

Well I've come to MY answer - after all the prep work that RovexCDTi suggested to me - 2 layers of KP1000 and 2 of Carnuaba wax.
As I was using my mates wax, I bought a tin of 'Harly Wax' on the bay, for myself and I'm very happy with the results.
It's the 'look' I was after. But now I can see every single paint defect - sprayshop in the Spring (when it arrives!).
Will post a photo, light and weather permitting!!
