Hi Guys
Thanks for the kind comments. Before the polish I was seriously contemplating a complete respray (excluding bottom colour coded sections) but my sprayer persuaded me that all she really needs is some careful attention with a rotary.
The polymer spray is manufactured by Wurth:

The wax I'm not sure, but it was a liquid based product as it came in a 5 litre 'industrial' looking container.
oh, and water for the steam
BTW - mine isn't classed as a 'cherished' plate but just an inexpensive one

I couldn't afford the one shown on my car in the forum!
