Options A- Glaze Paint Protection...

Is it worth £200 having a 6-7 micron barrier of a glaze on your paintwork?? Also includes interior protection on the seats etc....

Would a good polish/wax do the same every so often??

Your thoughts would be appreciated muchly!!!

I hade Millie done with 'Diamond Brite'

Cost nearly £400.

Looks good put is still showing the tiny scratches after general cleaning.

I reckon if you've got the patience, and the youth, have a go yourself.

At least you would be doing it for love and not just money - should get a better job that way.

yes , if u have the time a good wax will do just that ,do it regular will stop most types of oxidizing , power washer are bad for this.

if u have scatching in the clear coat g3 will take them out use pollishing cloth (mutton cloth) make sure the applying cloth is damp and buff with dry cloth this is what done in bodyshops ( cut and polish )

the only thing i can advise is look for bad swirls , for any dull patches on edges this is ware it would be most common to cut threw clear coat because a garage uses a polishing buff , but it should be fine they would have told u if they thought a scratch was to deep , let me know how u get on .
