Always found autoglym stuff top notch m8, but best polish I have ever used is called balck pearl (I think!), bought it from the local autopaints have'nt seen it in normal shops, amazing stuff and amazing shine on the finish

Autoglym for me,

[Gareth]

Usually use Auto glym or turtle wax,

 

depends on what's closest to hand at the time

 

ATM I've mostly been using filler dust

[Rich Sav]

i use Maguiars nxt generation car wash and Maguiars nxt generation wax

[louie bagel]

always use turtle wash and wax then give it a damn good rubbin thats for the classics

i also love t-cut colour fast which ive got to do the thames with (cos i've peeled the stickers of) thats after using turtle wash and wax then i'll wax again after

and the same with the transporter cos its red and gone dull

i've never tried auto glym or maguires so i can't coment

 

o and i recommend rain X for the glas

 

i think we should have a cleaning room on this site

 

i'm a buffer boy and i'm proud

I normally wash mine at least twice a week. I have tried alsorts. Always start with either simon's wash and wax or turtle wax wash n wax. Then chammyed down with a decent chamoise. Take for a quick spin to blow the bits of water out then depending on what the weather is like ( temprature, Sunlight ect) I will use a varyation of wax. I like maguires wax but can be a little time consuming buffing of, but I do like turtle wax colour restorer and a wax called Zymol. Zymol is a pain to buff of but amazing finish. I have a bottle of Mer but not that impressed

But I do like autoglym it is good quality and every thing do's what it says. Top stuff

 

This guy is a little obbsesed though

[EscortDan]

All depends how good and long you want the car to stay clean and shine for!

 

Meguiars is the nuts, I use the professional range, you can't get it in halfords like the NXT range and gold class though! I use the #7 polish followed by #16 mirror glaze, and beleive me mirror glaze is the nuts, it comes up like a mirror and feels silky smooth to the touch as well.

 

Several layers of that on the car and all you need is a wash once a week with the gel wash and it stays looking good for months, I'm a bit sad though i wash it once a week then apply more wax to keep it topped up! Well worth the money and effort.

[PaulAshman]

I am Autoglym through and through. Always have n always will!!!

[jay]

i'm a car valeter, and i only use autoglym... i find its the best..

[MK II Mark]

My wax of choice is Autoglym Super Resin Polish, I have used Turtle Wax for the last few months and found it to be average, I'm gonna revert to Autoglym next time round...

 

 

I have just realised how much of an anorak I am

 

Must try to be normal.... Must try to be normal.... Repeat until blue in face
