Thanks Spatt. I have to say it's all down to the polishing, the wax is just the cherry on top. I've since stopped using vics and have been experimenting with more expensive waxes. The pic with the bonnet open is BMD Taurus wax- I'm quite liking it, it's a winter wax. My new favourite summer/show waxes are Definitive Wax Show Edition and Zymol Concours. There's nothing wrong with the vics waxes though, they're great.
