yep, seems pretty good..
Make sure you do a good wax coat afterwards though, or the shine is very short lived...

I use Maguires wax number 26 on the body and 303 areospace protectant on the rubber bits. I have noticed that 26 on the mags makes it much easier to was the brake dust off. 26 is a bit of work to get on so I plan to use the wet look finish after I use all the 26 up. I bought too much of it ten years ago on a really good special and still have about five years supply left.

I have used the quik detialer instead of washing the car for a couple of months thanks to water restrictions in Canberra meaning you are not allowed to wash cars at home and it works very well.

No i use those small foam applicator pads to apply the polish and buff off with a microfibre cloth or nappys (cheap as chips you get 12 nappys for 20 bucks and you get 4 good size cloths out of 1 nappy) as for the steel wool trick that was told to me by a spray painter and its a trick of the trade
