Being a skinflint, I got mine cheap off a market stall, As it was a bargain, I decided to give it a go, instead of the stuff I usually use - Car Plan, although I have always been happy with it, I have heard people "wax" lyrical about Mer but never used it. Glad I gave it a try now. The polish is suitable for all paint finishes, including metallic, you can also use it on your caravan, bike, upvc windows or anywhere else you need a good shine.
The polish comes in a plastic container, coloured blue, in the following sizes, half litre, one litre, three litres, and the massive trade size of ten litres. Recommended retail prices range from £11 for the smallest, sixteen Pounds and thirty-one for the 1 & 3 litres, then up to a whopping £71 for the large. These prices are expensive, but the polish is very good, and does tend to go a long way.
You can apply this while wet, in direct sun, or when the bodywork is hot. Do one panel at a time, apply with a circular motion, use a good cloth to apply, then another one to polish off at your leisure, there is no rush to get it off. The result is very good, and it will see your pride and joy through the winter, another coat will see it through the summer.
Try to avoid plastic trims, as it is difficult to remove. You can also use this polish to get rid of small scratches, as long as they are not too deep. MER also do a Scratch & Stone Chip Removal Kit (see review by ucjtckc)

Just one small niggle, they do insist on using "childproof" caps, and I find these a pain to open, especially when you have wet polish on your hands.
I can certainly recommend this stuff, and when my bottle is empty, I hope to bite the bullet and buy another, it is good value especially if you intend keeping your car.

I've never polished a car in my life. Starting now might lead me down a slippery slope... xx
