Damon,

any advice for looking after bright and dark coloured gelcoat?

Ok, done some research and the you should be fine if you stay away from any aggressive polish.

What sort of finish are you looking for? I would use a mild polish by hand then finish with a wax as normal.

A Halfords available combo might be

Autoglym Super Resin Polish
Meguires NXT Wax

Better quality products and thus better finish, so my choice would be

Menzerna Final Finish (PO85U) http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/shop/...ml/menzerna-final-polish-ii-po85u-/p_151.html

And any of the waxes here http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/shop/wax/c_4.html

Each has their own qualities, so you choice will depend on your needs, longevity, shine, heat resitance etc.

Heat resistance is a major issue.
There's no padding or insulation around the exhaust or engine bay and the damn thing spits fire with the slightest blip of the throttle!

Thanks for the advice!
