Best coloured polish for Laser Blue Please
Nodz:
I use either AG SRP or meguires one (cent remember the name). It's the wax you use which can show off the colours better, I use meguires carnauba wax and it brings out the flake in the paint well.
Others use purple haze on blue paint

^^^For an understanding of polishing and how it works. It talks about machine polishing but useful info nonetheless.
When you touch the car, you're not touching the blue paint. You're touching the lacquer or clearcoat on top of it. This is what you are polishing. It is clear. There would be no point using any "colour polish" and the only one I'm aware of is turtlewax.
Hence you can use blackhole, srp and uds by hand if you wanted to.

Thanks Stealthwolf, but how do I know If I have clear-coat lacquer on? How do I know i'm not on the two stage colour coat as the top layer?

Would use a wax/sealent over the top though, wont last longer than a week i find. I can recommend autoglym super resin polish, good filler as well, as its easily purchased at halfrauds. Autoglym also do a polish specificly for darker colours, not tried it although ive got a bottle somewhere. Would also recommend using a claybar before polishing, i have found without, the results are almost night and day and the polish bonds loads better.

So I need to use:
Claybar, then polish, then wax then sealant?
