Autoglym all the way. Super gloss works really well. I'll just clean car day before FCS and use autoglym show and shine spray on the day.

I rate Autoglym but most people at work say its crap and Meguires (spelling) is far superior. Anyone got any views on this?

Wax is wax, polish is polish and shampoo is shampoo.


Shampoo for example contains detergents.

Wax is by its nature a solid sterol substance.

And polish is an abrasive

Call it what you want and give it any price, but there is very very little difference between own brand and top brand makes.

I've often thought about buying a wax as opposed to a polish. Autoglym polish isn't that abrasive though. Well hope not as my car gets a coating every 2 weeks. :shock:

Thank you!

Someone finally, who also sees that £300 wax is the same as £1.99 wax

As for FCS, my car will get triplewax shampoo i get dirt cheap from work and a sponge, other then that maybe just a hose over

I use triple wax shampoo. Lathers up lovely. The autoglym and most other shampoos hardly show up any soap, where as tripleway shampoo leaves more bubbles then me in the bath. :D

a true polish is not an abrasive, a polish contains oils to give the paintwork that wet look

'Polishing, as it applies to car detailing, refers to the act of restoring gloss by removing contaminants, restoring valuable oils and smoothing the paint surface. Most polishes accomplish this by being a mild abrasive and some do it by way of a chemical reaction.'

those are 'cleaner polishes'

a true polish has no abrasives.....

KingStromba

:?

Chemically a true polish is an abrasive.

BRUN

no, its not

a chemical abrasive is a chemical cleaner polish

i use more terms than just 'polish' because not all polishes on the market are the same, some are not abrasive at all, some are very abrasive

abrasive/cleaner polish - tcut
pure polish - meguiars show car glaze
wax - collinite 476s

all 3 are different products

If its not abrasive, its not a true poish. Polish is abrasive, by definirion. A product can call itself a polish, but without abrasive chemicals it aint.

Got to disagree there. I've yet to find ANY products that give a finish anywhere near as good as Meguairs. I used to always use Autoglym (mainly as i could get it cheap), but after trying a few Meguiars products, the differance really is noticable....... and i'd say that Autoglym is far better than other cheaper brands, so the differance between a very good polish/wax etc can be very noticable.

If you want a really good finish, go for Meguiars. Depending what condition the paint work is in, i'd go for either the Scratch X remover (about £9 for a toothpaste tube sized tube) and then a wax with their Nxt Generation Wax (or their Gold Class Wax is very good, just not as good as Nxt gen, but about £5 cheaper).

I usually give the whole car a treatment with the Scratch X at the start of the year to remove all the contamination and chemicals from the paint, and then just use the wax throughout the year.

In my opinion, Meguiars cleaning products are the best available. The only exception when i would use anything else, is with Engine Cleaner, and tyre dressing when i've found Autoglym to be just as good but cheaper.

Winston, I used to use super resin but bought some of this ultra deep shine black label stuff and it's even better, lasts longer and gives a better shine to mine!

I've not used the Ultra Deep Shine, but have seen it advertised. I thought it was more of a wax than a polish, and should therefore be used after the Super Resin polish, not instead of?

BRUN

its instead of, not after

and ive used it too, it is better than Super Resin

I use Meguiars "Polish" and its great. For wax I use Pinnacle Souvran, its a pure carnauba and gives the deepest shine i've ever seen. its particuarly good on dark colours hence why I use it on the willy.
