Bucket polishing?

I just repainted my Royal Guard helmet and want to keep that fresh out-of-the-academy shine to the helmet. Someone suggested using an automotive wax.
Anyone got any ideas or thoughts?

Not sure what type of paint you used, however I would not polish it if you just painted it. You need to let the paint harden; give it at least a month before applying any type of wax. Dan provoski would know more about this than me, but I think he would agree.

Did you apply a clear coat to it? That will help keep it all shiny... I've always liked "Mother's" wax products and there web site has a lot of info on there product's.

Yes, quite a few coats to be exact. I'll see how it holds us with just the paint and clear coat on it.
Now just have to figure out how to attach the visor...
