12. Polish

Polish

As we are keeping our cars longer, it’s vital to protect your paint from the ravages of winter driving.

If your paint is more than a few years old, treat it with a paste, such as Collinite No476S (£14.99), or a liquid, such as CarPlan EcoCar Polish(£5.99).

Then apply our test-winning Turtle Wax Extra Gloss (£9.99). For new paint, the Extra Gloss alone should do the job.
