    I don't know if you can get it in Oz, Rod, but anything by Werkstat, especially their Prime Acrylic and Carnauba Jett - fabulous shine, easy to use (see here for details).

        Mothers California Gold Natural Formula for the painted surfaces.
        Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish for the wheels and chrome trim.
        Showroom New Restorer for the black plastics (Bed rail caps, grille insert, nerf bar steps, windshield wiper motor cover, fender flares, etc...).

        I need to buy new supplies of everything but the mag polish...

          I like Mothers products too.

          Have you compared Showroom New Restorer to Back to Black? Back to Black doesn't last as long as I'd like on the black plastic parts with UV fading on my motorcycle...

                    I agree with eezlock here. (Not that I've tried a heck of a lot of others, but I've been very happy with Meguires.)

                      Whatever you do, DO NOT EVER put any type of dressing or polish/preservative on the tires or seat. making them slick is very very bad. I watched a guy go down in a parking lot because "I only put it on the sidewalls".

                          As eezlock and Alex... I use Mequiers. I worked at Year One, Inc. which builds and restores American Muscle Cars. They use Mequier's on $100,000 show cars and that speaks for itself.
