Hopefully Tipex will approve of the subject matter as not being too boring ;)

The paintwork is very soft so after 7 years and 40k miles it looked like this:

But it came up pretty damn well, 50:50 using mainly Menz 106FA on a Megs polishing pad:

The finished article,waxed with Zymol Concours:

It's not the subject I find boring, I enjoy looking at these threads, it's actually doing the detailing (or valeting in real world non pretentious speak) I find boring.

See now, that's a fezza that now looks great, but a fecking Mitsubishi Charisma? Or some other dull as dishwater generic vehicle, why would you bother?

Is that Gosforth/Great Park?

Yup, that is where I live after all!

Discs were rusty Milo, it moved exactly half a wheel rotation (probably a quids worth of fuel)

Fergy: rotary all the way, even the bumpers (although I used a polish that works well at lower speeds to keep the heat down)

The Megs polishing pad is pretty good! Follow up with the pad i used in my post, in conjunction with either your 106FA or even better, 85RD you will be able to bring up a good gloss, layer of glass like finish from that polished look. Shame no afters of the polishing action but it looks nice and reflective.

Actually, the first 2 finished pics are pre-wax but I couldn't be bothered editing the post.

Thanks for the suggestions ;) but you're preaching to the converted. It also says what I mainly used to correct the paintwork, most people aren't interested in every polish and pad combo used hence I left them out.
