Gah! What are you talking about, man? Polish? That's not mechanics?
No ... it's not ...

How do you polish yours?
I have a white and a black Classic 900. I know what I use to get the
very best out of the paint, but what do you guys use?

I have been very happy with Autoglym Super Resin polish by hand on my
white car, which was re-sprayed three or four years ago. I also like
to use Chemical Guys EZ Creme Glaze which really brings the shine out
and top that with Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 sealant. Most recently, I
have been using Armor All Hi-Shine Soft Paste Wax as a very last coat
and boy does this enhance the shine 8) See:

Our black car has been tested with all sorts of stuff - I have settled
on Meguiars #83 and #80 as a combination for maintaining the paint
finish. Then, #26 liquid wax and #21 for autumn and winter. I like to
use a paste wax too, so #16 gets dropped on top sometimes; that, or
Collinite 476S. I do all my maintenance by hand. I tried out a
Meguiars G220 DA and didn't really get on with it - I needed a lot
more practice and would like to own one some day to bring swirled/
scratched cars up to spec quickly.

Here's a day I spent with a couple of friends show-prepping one of the
group's convertible: http://www.pjgh.co.uk/gallery/wyse_20080518

Any more polishing/detailing nuts out there?

Polish my car? Why should I do that? ;)
Just kidding, I'm using a car polish from "Sonax" can't remember the
complete name.
