I had some stuff from a Maguires polish pack that removes all old wax and debris. Then I used a bottle of the paintseal cream to apply two coats of the Supagard. It was truly remarkable how deep the lustre was, and still is. It gives some minor protection against scratches and good protection against bird muck. It's best to wash the bike in the Supagard non foaming anti acid car wash. This also helps remove ground in debris and protects the finish. I haven't found the sponges to be brilliant but they do work.
Mate, i'd be opening up a valet shop if I were to get all these stuff you mentioned. Sure, I played with meguiars stuff before, the 'elbow grease' clay, polishes, etc but I just can't justify getting any more than that sponge to give it a try for a 2003 tmax with its multiple war wounds.
That said, if I change it for a newer scoot with its gleaming bodywork, i'll make sure to refer back to this post and be more clinical with it.
Thanks as ever for the detailed descriptions though
