I use Autoglym Super Resin Polish followed by Dodo Juice wax on my WR1 and it really brings the colour to life :)

Dodo Juice Blue Velvet is my wax of choice

A small pot like that is enough for 4-5 coats on a WR1 :)

Wow, 3 coats of dodo juice blue velvet last weekend and the wr1 looked awesome... Washed and used dodo juice red mist quick detailer over it today and it looks even better, I can see my garage turning into an emporium for dodo juice products... :)
