I'd love to say that I use AutoGlym Super Resin on the D3......... but I've only washed it once in 10k miles
Besides....... It looks so much better when it's dirty
IF,.... I was going to polish it, that's what I'd be using

Hi Allan,
Chips away are ok....but if you are anywhere near Dundee,Auto Ecosse in Broughty Ferry do Smart repairs and are excellent!!
They removed a ding in my d3 which i got when the car was 2 hours old.
They do the whole,chips,dings,scratches and alloys thing,and only charged me 25 quid to sort

So tell me, JMC, do you have grass growing on your car as well?
And yes, the shiny off roaders you mostly meet in capital cities: it's not the way it is ment to be!

Hi Allan
I use meguiars products all the time , find them the best and i know my wax as I go through bottles of the stuff.
What you want is a wax called NTX Tech Wax, easy to work with . I would give my disco a coat of this every month .
Meguiars also do a product called NTX Speed detailer , (i love this stuff) Its a touch up spray wax that you use between waxing ,perhaps after a car wash
Also if you want to touch up the black plastic bumper ends and trim I would recommend Meguiars Gold Class trim detailer

Like JMC I use Autoglym Super Resin Polish, after its polished with this I put Autoglym Gloss Protection on too. Makes the car look really good - although don’t do it on a very bright day - polishing silver cars on a bright day nearly blinds you! Always found Autoglym products easy to use.
You wont of done any damage to your paintwork but it might just look a bit patchy when its dry - nothing a polish wont put right. I have had the same happen to me on a D2, I just left it and repolished once it stopped raining. Wouldn’t recommend using washing up liquid too often though - I've heard its not too good for the paintwork.

Hey everyone,
Thanks for the feedback and advice................I have been depressed all afternoon because of this
Anyway, I am starting to feel better now
Its just so annoying when you intend to do a good thing and then end up thinking you may have damaged your paintwork.
Cheers

Had my D3 treated with Permagard http://www.permagard.info/.
All I have to do is wash it with a ph neutral car shampoo (Meguairs).
Only downside was you had to get it done in either Cardiff or London, might have more dealers now though.
Excellent product.
