Gaz6002 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I've always used Autoglym Super Resin polish but I'm sure one of the detailers will tell me I'm an idiot for it. Seems to bring my car up well though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterSheen Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Have a nosey through this site - wealth of info: http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/ mine currently is with Dodo Juice Light fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdzC Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Varies on colour really mate. I'm currently using Clearkote Vanilla Hand Glaze and Victoria Concours wax but that's on a silver car. Autoglym or Meguiars are good for 'off the shelf' products. As above though detailing world is the font for this sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I always use, Autoglym Super resin poilsh, with a coat of their High Definition Wax on top. That gives an amazing shine and replels water and dirt like I have never seen. Just ask Henk. He bought a tub of the HD Wax at JTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wouldn't have anything to do with your car being one of autoglym's demo cars would it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 SRP (Super Resin Polish) is a bit of a filler, IE it just fills light swirls when washed a few times they soon come back You want a decent polish, then perhaps a sealant of some type then a few coats of a decent wax, i can recommend Zymol carbon for the wax, about 50 sheets so not too pricey for a decent ish wax Detailingworld is the place you need to look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 nice looking car gaz, and i have to second a vote for autoglym, i think their products are great Cheers mate. Their products always do the job for me although I've now started using Meguiars tech wax because I like the smell I'm no expert though, I bought my car to drive rather than rub.

Ric Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 That's not polish. its more of a polish/sealant than a wax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 He's talking about the Extra Gloss EGP is a superior top coating synthetic wax made of a blend of resins, waxes and oils. It contains no abrasives or polishing compounds and so can safely be used on blemish free new paintwork without fear of adding swirl marks and micro scratches. So it's superb for brand new cars. It's clear, will not stain black plastics or leave chalky residue around badges, stickers and anti-stone chip coatings. Sounds even less like a polish now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 This wouldn't have anything to do with your car being one of autoglym's demo cars would it That helps, but even if it wasn't a demo car I would still definitely use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Sounds like a wax to me. sorry, i was talking about an actual wax (with carnuba, white, yellow, and various other waxes) Not a mix of every synthetic chemical under the sun Most people in the "know" as such would consider the cheaper autoglm SRP,EGP etc as sealents rather than a "true wax" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) I used the one Peter sells. Nilsons gold I think it is. Nice to work with, doesnt mark rubber etc and isnt chalky. Edited June 5, 2008 by DamanC (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 sorry, i was talking about an actual wax (with carnuba, white, yellow, and various other waxes) Not a mix of every synthetic chemical under the sun Most people in the "know" as such would consider the cheaper autoglm SRP,EGP etc as sealents rather than a "true wax" Fair enough, as I said I'm not expert. I shudder at paying more than £20 for a product to clean my car with unless someone else is doing the hard work for me. I'm far to heavy handed. The point I was trying to make was the OP asked what is a good polish and the 2 suggested products aren't polishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L33 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 i personally like the blond haired polish, around 5'10, slim build, bit sporty but thats just me my dad gets me some stuff from his work frm the valeters, no idea what it is but it really brings the car up loverly!
