I am with wildrenes, Meguiars is the nuts. Will not use anything else on mine. Easily applied, easily removed, and the results are absolutley fantastic. the car looks wet all the time. (using gold class). A word of warning, i have only seent he product mentioned once, but will advise........MER eats lacquer. The reason it puts a nice shine on the car is because it impregnates the lacquer with a glossing agent, which over a 2 year period (of constant use), will bubble the lacquer!!! That info came from the mer customer care department, of which has now cost MER a lot of money in compensation, and forcing them to re design the product!!!

See you have a Kensington Green IS. So have I. I have used Mer but after reading all the ravings over Autoglym I am off to Halfords. Its the final shine I am after.

I bought the Autoglym Gloss stuff last week to use in time for Gaydon. Great stuff, but by the time I got to Gaydon my pride and joy was all mucky...

A dab of Peter's Meguers (ta very much) and it was brand spankingly shiney (sigh) - still looks really good now.

And Wildrnes' polish was fantastic on my wheels - really, really impressed.

Aaaaghhhh, you lot are costing me a fortune. It's got to a stage where my husband's starting to beg me to go back to buying shoes - he reckons it's cheaper.

I have now tried Autoglym extra protection and its fab. Will now be using Mer a lot less say twice a year.

[mik]

Did the extra gloss protection thing yesterday and the car looks wonderful (esp since it didn't rain last night)

Used super resin polish first on some of the panels that had light scratches before using extra gloss all over car and leaving for an hour to dry before polishing off - rate both products highly :P

Only problem now is that chip marks on bonnet are more noticable :( hmmm seem to remember there's an article on Gold somewhere about this ...

[imi]

Just a question, dose anyone use anything special to get rid of the crappy white stuff left in the small gaps here n there after using the Autoglym Resin Polish? :arrrggg-matey: :arrrggg-matey:

When i use the Gloss Protection, i can get rid of some of it... but it's more noticable on dark coloured cars.. especially black...

[wildrnes]

yes it is easy to get rid of em

take ur time

it is also down to the polishing cloth

terry towls are best

esp if they are none terry on the other side

use terry side to remove the wax and the smooth side to final polish

[imi]

it is also down to the polishing cloth

terry towls are best

Thanks for the info...

Where will i be able to get hold of Terry Tows.. will Halfords sell'em??

Thanks MsW..

I have just placed a long order from Mequiars , cost a bit tho :duh: :duh:

Hopefully arrive soon.. going to see how it compares to Autoglym, got the persuation after looking at Jhonny's car at Gaydon B) B) needed some shades...

Will post the compared results, after the long applying process...

[leedsunited]

Used Autoglym shampoo and polish, then tried Maguires, I can now tell you that the Autglym is now residing in the back of the garage for those special occasions, like for use on the wifes car, no contest. B)

[Unity_neil]

so where do we get meguiers from? is it mail order from the US or something? Just ordered over a grands worth of House of Kolor paint (for the Chev not the IS) so obviously I may as well get the best polish....

[Bobski]

you could try their web site or a site i found called speeding, or just do a search via google for meguiers

I ordered some from Speeding.co.uk. Very good site with free delivery :)

[Zee007]

or you could find a performanve car store locally that may sell it....... like graham goode..... ;)

[imi]

i just ordered it from "www.maguiars.co.uk", should be arriving soon....

[yoshi]

You got it all wrong - Zymol is the BEST!

www.zymol.co.uk

The stuff is wicked, wax lasts MONTHS and the cloths/towels are superb. All the stuff is natural plant extracts etc. so safe for everyone.

I've got the full sha-booga, cost £500+ but the car gleams and is easy clean, stop my paint oxidizing.

They have specific wax called 'NSX' wax for Jap cars which is what I use.

[mudzs]

Did he say £500 :o
