New car shine-advice needed

Some of the cars on here blow me away with how glassy they look, so can anyone help me out please.

I've got a new sapphire black 35is with 600 miles on it so no chips...yet... I use the car but only sparingly and in the dry and it's a bit of a garage queen tbh. :oops: I spray it with meguires quick detailer and use a microfibre cloth after every run to clean the brake dust off etc, then usually a wipe over with meguires quick wax after that. Which wax should I use every now and again to get a deep rich wet look if that's possible, and if poorboys black hole is suggested, what is the purpose of natty paste as this seems to be suggested with black hole?

Any advice would be much appreciated, and thanks in advance.
 
Glaze wise, 50Cal filler glaze is way ahead of blackhole in terms of finish and filling abilty wax wise, nattys is good but imo the just waxed look doesn't last long enough, what you really need is some of this

Agree with the above comments about fillers - shine comes from the pre wax/protection stages i.e. polishing.

If the car is new to you, I'd advise a decontamination too (iron and tar deposits, as well as sap and general fallout will mask your finish). Followed up by a decent all in one (AIO) such as Tripple or even Super Resin Polish...

It's tough, as I could advise going to a detailer or a hobbyist like myself for a couple of £££ correction, but depends how far you're willing to go.
 
Cheers for clearing that up Nitrix.

Why would I need fillers though? The cars brand new, no sap or tar or other contaminents on it.

I like the look of the Definitive polish and wax, sounds just what i'm after. Should I use quick detailer or water for a clay bar before the polish and wax?

Thanks for the advice chaps.
 
Is it just the wheels you are quick detailing after every run. I would be concerned about scratching the car otherwise if you are not doing a full wash. Once in a while at a show would be one thing, but after every trip, asking for trouble IMO.

No I do the whole car with detailer but..it's clean when I take it, out and i only take it out in the dry but if I go through some water on the road I rinse the grit and dried water off with a hose, mitt and clean water, dry with a drying cloth, then quick wax.
